What is the most demanding game in my library? I have a new monitor and I want to torture my graphics card to test it. I don't have any new games. Or what is a free game that is more demanding than what I own? I could add ENBs to Skyrim or Fallout 4 to make them more demanding. I think. I tried Alien: Isolation and a couple of others but they are not really demanding. I want something that drops the FPS to see what the limits of my card are.
In a way, Walking Simulator is the most demanding. But that is because there is something wrong with that game.

You never mentioned which GPU you have. None of your games are demanding enough to "torture" a new generation GPU.

As my new friend said, you don't have any "demanding" games as of right now.

But can it run crysis.

Or just bite the bullet and download the 194GB CoD Warzone and crank everything up.

The GPU is not new. The monitor is. The GPU is a 5700XT. I want to know how far it can go. The monitor is 4K 144Hz. I expect the GPU to choke. But I want to know how far it can go. Alien: Isolation on ultra at 4K plays fine with good FPS. I did not expect that.
I am downloading Vampire Bloodhunt right now. It was on a list of demanding games and the pre-release is free now.

Hitman 2 is probably the most demanding in your library.

E: or Skyrim if you Installed a bunch of high-res graphics mods

Ultimately, that depends on the limits of the game engine, and not so much on the limits of your GPU. If you have a badly optimized engine, its going to run poorly, even on fast hardware.
Fat chance anyone knows the inside out of every engine you have.

Try benchmarking it:

You don't. Nobody does. Its too difficult of a question, that requires the exact technical know-how of all those engines. Good luck, finding anyone who knows that.

Thanks. That one "worked". I set to 4k and everything to ultra and all effects on. I was getting as low as 30FPS.

The Vampire: Blood Hunt was disappointing. It only plays at 1800P. I set everything to ultra and it played fine. No idea why it was on that list I found.
