An Adventure Game to Challenge a GTX 980ti

[Sverre]

I'm soon finished with my new water cooled PC and would like to find a game that really challanges it.

Anyone know of any such games, filtered with the list below.

Here's a list of things I like and dislike.
---
I don't like games where the characters look too much like real life humans.
I don't play 1'st person games.
I don't play games where I can't controll running and turning with a mouse.
I like adventure and fantasy.
I prefere RPG's.
I like games where the characters look like EQ and WoW. EQ1 was my favorite, but WoW is ok as well.
I like questing.
I don't like grinding and dungeon jumping.

Witcher 3, one of the best looking games out there, rpg and fantasy. Also one of my favorite games.

Are you controlling walking/running/turning with the mouse in Witcher 3? I have a Witcher, but not sure if it's 1 or 2, it's from 2012. I never really liked it though.

Im using controller to play it. I didn't play witcher 1 or 2 myself.

Hi sverre

The witcher 3 will put it to the test, depending on screen resolution and game settings (especially antialiasing) any newer game can put any gpu to the test. Far cry 4 is a little bit RPG and a lot of first person shooter and has a lot of side quests.

I'd say Witcher 3 and Dragons Age Inquisition and Skyrim (especially with mods) FarCry but they are not exactly point and click mouse....for a demanding game you can't beat those but you'd have to be willing to adapt to controls a bit....

I have a few recommendations for tests:

Fallout 4 ( with mods: till it breaks) as you can really pull of a lot of detail and have fun running around a wasteland. But then you have to deal with humanoids. Plus it's not very innovative in terms of progressing from fallout 3 besides graphics.

Watchdogs (Terrible storyline but you can nab it for $6 if you know where to look) with theworse mod. It was touted as Nvdia's "big graphics test" options should drag the card down to the 50's on a 4k display. I recommend nabbing it for the 6$ price because of the Spidertank minigame.

Wildstar (sci fi WoW), free to play. Reminds me of Rachet and Clank. Keeps you leveling without much grinding. But it's an MMO so... pros and cons. Won't stress the card but it looks good for that cartoony vibe, plus there's a bunch of non-human races.

Warframe (Free to play 3ps): Just got an update in graphics today, looks incredibly pretty. Cons: Grindy as all heck and is not beginner friendly. While not "Pay to win" exactly, it's more of a pay to skip hours of crafting time.

Hawken (free to play online mech shooter): Everything is level locked. Switched from Pay to unlock cosmetics to pay to win. Pretty, fun, twitchy, but unforgiving and has a cheater problem now.

Given your list I'd recommend Wildstar for the WoW like game (Because you get magic and science fantasy complete with that WoW paintjob) and Warframe for the stresstest (crazy detail you'd expect from a AAA liscense).

Other games worth mentioning but can't recommend because I haven't played them:

FFXIV

Evolve

Planetside 2

Monster Hunter Online (If you can read it and get into the beta)
