Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great) (sh.itjust.works)

i have a pretty good GPU now.

besides crysis, what old games can i go back and play on ultra-super-max settings and would still give my GPU a good workout?

or what games looked really good on ultra at the time but struggled to deliver fps, and would now be a joke for a modern high end GPU?

RDR2 was one of the first things i tried to replay, but i was having weird problems with rockstar launcher (maybe only a problem on linux)

i'm playing gtaV enhanced maxed out. Looks great

Shadow of TR, great suggestion. I'll grab it on sale

Metro and stalker are great suggestions, but i'm really not into horror (i like to sleep at night)

    There's a specific version of proton to use for RDR2. I believe it's Hotfix. Do a search for getting it to run on Steam Deck, because I recall there may have been a command line argument to add to get it to run.

    Set proton to Experimental.

    Set this as the launch options:
    WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b %command%

    Thanks for the advice, but no-go for me on my Legion-Go with Bazzite. Tried deleting the Rockstar Games folder in Documents, tried Experimental/GE/Hotfix Protons, tried combining the two each time, tried using Cloudflare DNS, tried yelling at it...

    It kills me that all my other R* games run fine, launcher included, just RDR2 has this issue.

    If you're interested in TR, then also try the Uncharted collection.

    Great looking and it plays without hiccups (had a couple of crashes in specific places due to forcing my GPU).

    Note though: has a bumpy start but after the first level it is all smooth sailing.
