Crysis is still the game that pushes hardware the most atm, most games don't push the graphics beyond what consoles can handle (for obvious reasons).

But there's still plenty of games out there, but crysis is definitely the one if you want to see how far you can push your hardware.

Play a fancy online MMO at max settings... that should be a good test of general specs as well as your internet speed. I haven't touched MMO's for a long time so I don't know what to recommend though.

Mass effect 1 and then 2 are great options imo.

Also I need to mention, I can't get M games because I'm twelve and my mom would not let me. Also aI don't want to have the like super pushing game, just something that will let me get some good performance from my hardware.

The new Alien versus Predator (haha just joking xP)

Mmm, I don't know, maybe Spore ;D that game was pretty fun and addictive.

Need for Speed Shift is really nice to play, the first person view in NFS:Shift is pretty awesome = ]

And of course Starcraft 2 (when it comes out)

Are the 9000 series of GeForce cards better than the 8000 series?

Crysis will rape your current setup so hard your eyes will bleed.

With my core i7 and 5870 setup, I barely get 50FPS on high settings.

WIth your ancient first-gen phenom and 9800, you'll be lucky to hit 30 FPS on medium settings with Crysis.

There you have it.

That's even better performance than I thought though. I thought you'd need dual 5870's to do that well.. need to read up lol

Oh man, I remember those days.

Try HalfLife 2 or a higher end game from around that time.

At that setup, you might want to try something like Call of Duty 4 or Supreme Commander

Remember just THREE years ago?

When the 9800GTX was the absolute king of graphic cards that everyone drooled upon with a $600 price tag?

Present day, a $99 Radeon 4850 rapes the shit out of the 9800GTX.

Good observation but we're trying to find games to push his computer not relate to pushing his mother.

As previously posted, the most computer stressing game is Crysis. I think you'd probably prefer a good game though so look for something else.
