    This is gonna sound crazy but Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. It was the first game I played on a computer we got when I was in the 4th grade and since then I’ve made it a tradition to make that the first game I play on any new computer.

    To my knowledge it wasn’t even a technical power house when it came out but it is always interesting to see it run at resolutions way higher than it was intended for

      I literally just started playing thru this again a few weeks ago.

      Don’t think it’ll suffice for a stress test these days, but it’s such a great game.

      I still need to finish MoTS one of these days…

    It was Cyberpunk 2077 last time, because I got a ray-tracing capable GPU.

    Honestly, it’s 3dMark or the benchmarks from either Cyberpunk 2077, Metro: Exodus, or FFXV. Perfect stress tests.

      Always 3DMark. I love that program. So many uses.

    Flight Simulator 2020, went from a i7 4790k / 1080Ti to a 5800X3D / 3090, insane performance. Don’t get me wrong my former build was insane, almost 7 years of use, and still kicking.

      That 1080ti has incredible legs, mine is still sleeping for when it is needed again.

      This. Q3A has been a benchmark standard ever since it came out, plus it’s still an incredibly fun game.

          Quake was my teenage years and I still love playing it.

      Is this some kind of joke I’m too young to understand…? Quake came out in 1999 yeah, that’s like saying UT99 is a good benchmark, but I havent played on a pc that cant run UT99

        Hmm … it’s not for tests purposes, if that’s what you mean, it’s just because I like it.

      I have an Odyssey CRG9. It seems so absurd at first, but after a while it makes using any 16:9 monitor feel cramped as hell. Just be aware ultrawide support is lacking at times, but nothing you can’t tweak around. Took me about a month of use to get everything to where I don’t have to think about it much anymore.

      DOOM Eternal. Really fun game if you’re into fast paced shooters with fun movement mechanics. I loved the 2016 DOOM reboot and Eternal is even better in a lot of ways imo.

        Hell yeah! I knew it was supposed to be good. Looks super cool. I played 2016 multiplayer a decent amount. I also tried 1993 around that time. Very dated, but I could see why it was so popular
