LFG that takes advantage of my video card

Hello,

I just got a new video card it is A geforce GTS 450 1GB GDDR5, so far its a great card but I don't feel like I'm using it to its full potential. I am running it on my Sony Bravia tv via HDMI. So everything is in 1080p which is amazing.. Any suggestions?

    I have a GTX 285 and I run EQ2 almost maxed out.  That game will really task your card.

    LOTRO will tax that card at max settings.  With DX11 enabled the game looks amazing...

    Age of conan and lotro in dx 10 at anything over and including HD 1080 Rez will stress it, turning everything to max
    Even star trek online

    To lazy to type out a review, but LoTRO is a good game for PvE and story but not so much PvP(one instance, boring) at all. Though the world and graphics really draw you in, and I still have a GTX 260(sad I bought this a year ago new when it was the best for $300, and its outdated horribly already.. I hate PC's). DX10 is my highest, and it still looks amazing on max(doubting DX11 adds that much to it honestly anyway). Age of Conan would be also PvE, but has much better PvP than LoTRO. Both now run great on my card with max settings so doubting you would have any issues(hence why I saw no need to upgrade, and wont till a game actually makes my card bow down lol). But really, those are the two main games on the MMO market right now with the best graphics easily and unquestionably. Lol at the guy that said EQ2, they are horrible(art direction that is).

    EQ2 only uses the GPU for shadows 80% of all graphics generated are done so by the CPU  SOE had this vision that by now we would be on 8ghz single cores not dual and quad cores etc which is why it still doesnt run great on numerous machines.

     Really???  then why when you update your graphics card do does the game run even smoother, dont say shadows as I always have them low anyway as they dont bother me.

    So I tried LOTRO and it is an okay game...I can run it full settings and max resolution in 1080p and it look good and no lag. Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure how I feel about the game though in general. It isn't as fun as I hoped it would be :/
