Looking at my specs, what would be the game that has the absolute best graphics that can run on it? My i7 is overclocked to 3.44 GHz and very stable (with 34 C high load temp). Particularly, I'm wondering if there are any realtime ray traced games that could run on it?

To the OP, you can't run the best graphics - DirectX 11 - because your card doesn't support it. But you can run it in DirectX 10, so take a look ate Metro 2033 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. To rjmach, you need a aftermarket heatsink and a solid motherboard for overclocking, neither of which I'd expect from Dell.

Crysis & Crysis Warhead would be your best bet.

It's still the best looking game out there right now without a doubt.

Honorable mentions:

  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2
  • Metro 2033

Although both are DX11 titles, so you won't be able to experience them at it's fullest.
