15 Video Games That Pushed the Hardware to Their Absolute Limits

Cyberpunk 2077 – PC

Cyberpunk 2077 might have been subject to plenty of controversy thanks to the many technical issues at launch, but there’s little argument to be had about how pretty the game looks. Night City is just what one would expect from a futuristic dystopia, complete with rain soaked streets and the dichotomy between the dense slums populated by vagabonds and high rise buildings only available to the affluent. Tons of light sources reflect light out into the surroundings, which creates a uniquely futuristic look – and it’s obviously best experienced with ray tracing on a powerful PC. Turning up the graphics knobs will push any PC rig to the extreme, and if you have a worthy machine – Cyberpunk 2077 is a must try.
