Hardest game to run on PC?
I think I've found it but idk if there is a harder game to run

Wolfenstein: The New Order's minimum requires an i7 and an i7 just to run it on minimum is means that this game is pretty hard to run on any rig

Assassin's Creed Unity.
You need more than a beefy PC to run it at 60 frames, max settings, not to mention the poor optimization it has.

Dishonored 2 when it was first released?

Any games also ported to console will be limited in technology. This marks off most AAA titles. Consider looking at the PC exclusive titles, or perhaps a game with really high ultra settings. Look into HItman, System Shock Reboot, The Evil Within, GTA5 (modded like hell). Hope this helped.

I'm more interested in the games on minimum settings (obviously I want to run games on ultra) because I'm trying to find the absolute hardest game to run possible without any mods

I would guess Just Cause 3 or another one of those massive detructable open world games. Perhaps Medieval Engineers or Space Engineers could contend for that position, because of the huge battles in SE or the massively destructable castles in ME.

Speaking of huge battles, maybe one of the SupCom series with no unit limit?

Turn most games to 4k and it'll ♥♥♥♥ you system over. Even if it's the nividialogue viral thing

Wolfeinstein the New Order has pretty strange system requirements. In real life, a lot of people can run it on their Core i5 without problems. I myself played only the first mission on my i5-3570K but hadn't met any framerate problems - the game was very smooth.

Fallout 3. Basically doesn't work these days unless you have Windows XP. The fixes don't really work and don't last before the game starts crashing. Really pised me off when Steam said it was merely not optimized for windows 8 instead of not playable and they continue to sell it anyway.

XCom 2 even with a GTX1070 156600K i can't max out the game not to mention the lastest patch made the thing unplayable

You don't need an i7 to run that game on 1080p 60fps. I've seen people max it out with i5s from 2012 and a decent gpu. But the thing is that, new order uses Id Tech 5 which is a very crappy game engine and it doesn't even look good. They could have used Unreal 3 but they decided to save $$. Assasin's creed is another case of lazy developers.

I'd say Gta 5

You got that right ...

Now I'm in Windows 10 so I could play Dishonored 2 smoothly, but I cannot play Fallout 3.

If you are referring to well optimized games, anything that runs on CryEngine 3 at maximum settings will give you a run for your money.

Crysis 3 or Ryse: Son of Rome are both demanding titles and well optimized.

For a poorly optimized game, Assassin's Creed: Unity which is a shame because they dedicated effort into recreating Paris and the architecture is very photorealistic if you play it at a high resolution.

remember when Crysis came out no machine could run it maxed, but at least it ran, now almost all games don't run well due to lazy programming at least Witcher 3 was/is well supported
