What's the best PC game graphically?

[stargate]

I really have no idea because I haven't done much in terms of computer gaming since Diablo II. Just wondering, what are some of the most impressive games from a graphics standpoint.

[Misto]

Crysis is the most graphically advanced game you can buy.

"Oh hey how was Crysis?"
"Graphics were amazing!"
"And the gameplay?"
"Meh."

[Trebuken]

Metro 2033 may be better. I have not picked it up yet...awaiting nVidia's new graphics cards...Crysis 2 is coming this year though and it looks like it might be the new benchmark.

Generally the response of someone who hasn't played through Crysis :P

Haha it's possible

Curse of Monkey Island is up there, ahh the gorgeously drawn world...

When I build my next computer, my goal is to be able to play Crysis mostly maxed out.

I remember when Farcry was the most graphically superior game out there. But now it's one of the Crysis games. Crysis 2 will surpass it though. And although slightly off topic, I can't wait until Crysis 2 comes to the 360/PS3.

I was going to post something like this... mine would have been simplified to "The next one".

I played and it's kinda meh, even in the graphics department. It's not that it's not technically impressive it's just boring tunnels over and over...

Didn't Crytek make all of these games?

Guess those fools have pretty much been running thangs from a graphics whore standpoint since 2003 (FarCry).

[The 1 2 P]

Crytek definitely knows their stuff when it comes to building powerful game engines, sometimes making them too powerful(as was the case with Crysis 1).

[WCP]

At this point, I almost want to wait until Crysis 2 comes out before building a PC, to see which video card/cpu combo runs it really well.

Pong.

Seriously though, some of these DX11 games look pretty good. Not as much eye candy as Crysis, because most of them are racing games like DIRT.

Bad Company 2 being another.
