Minecraft Java Edition, modded, with shaders and a texture pack that's big (I'm talking probably 512x at least). That'll put your 5090 to the test, I think.
I try to encourage people to play the Remedy back catalogue first as it makes the story experience much better, but Alan Wake 2 is one of the more visually impressive titles of the past few years. Absolutely beautiful HDR implementation too. Hell, I bet even Control would push your hardware a bit with raytracing and everything maxed out. You should check it out too, it also looks great.
Hellblade 2 looks incredible from the trailers (I haven't gotten to it yet) and while it wasn't as well received by everyone as its predecessor I think everyone agrees it looked stunning.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black looks fantastic, if you can play it maxed out with raytracing and all settings maxed and still hit 120 FPS I'm sure it'll be a visual feast. I only have a 4070ti but I still found it gorgeous. Even the new Ninja Gaiden 4 looks really good, but it only just came out so I haven't played it myself yet.
I found STALKER 2 to be very pretty as well when I played it.
I actually started playing control, and it is indeed the first game that regularly has my GPU pulling > than 600W, but the narrative (I feel like the world itself is made out of contrivances like they took too much freedoms even within a supernatural fictional world) and gameplay so far have left me wanting and I've kinda soft dropped the game, as in I havent made the active decision to drop it, but haven't felt like playing it in weeks.
As for AW2, epic store exclusive makes me 🤢🤮 tbh.
I don't want to install the epic store just for 1 game.
Ill look into all the others though; thanks!
I thought Control was great, I really enjoyed the gameplay - particularly when you start getting more abilities and weapons - but I agree that the main plot and also to some extent the main character isn't the best part. For me though I really loved the world building and all the little SCP style stuff, so that kept me hooked. Plus I was already deep into the Remedyverse 😄
If you are determined to never install Epic Launcher then I recommend just pirating Alan Wake 2. YMMV if you haven't played AW1 and the rest of the Remedy catalogue but for me AW2 was not only gorgeous but in general one of the best games I've ever played. Or at least one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I'm actually in the middle of a replay of it right now, it's phenomenal.
ARK Survival Ascended (the new version of the game) wrecks my 9800x3d and 5080 on max settings and dlss off. Like I can't get over 30fps if I remember right.
See if you can hit 60FPS without upscaling in Metro Exodus maxed out at 4K.

Video Game Suggestions
318 readers

A place to find suggestions for video games! For example, you might create a post looking for recommendations for a game to play with a friend, or a game that is easy to play if you just broke your dominant hand. Or you might post a list of games that let you use a whip as a weapon. A lot of rules for conduct here are pretty obvious (don't be a jerk, stay on-topic) so I'll bold the weird ones.
Rules
- Please stay on-topic: post requests for games that match some criteria you specify, lists of games with a certain element, or something otherwise relevant to helping people find games that match certain criteria.
- If you're looking to find the name of a particular game or video game series you forgot, you should go to !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com. This community is for fielding suggestions for games, not for finding one specific video game.
- If you're making a post that is suggesting games, it should be a list of games. This is partially to help prevent the community from being overrun by people just suggesting their favorite game, and devs suggesting you play their latest game. This is about posts, not comments. It's okay to comment on a post asking for gaming suggestions with just one game.
- Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
- Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
- When advertising something you have worked on, please use common sense for what is spammy. Self-promotion isn't totally banned: if someone asked for an RPG where you can play a lich, and the game you worked on is an RPG where you can play a lich, you can definitely answer with your RPG. I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
- Please indicate spoilers when necessary. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.
