Infamous 2 seems more demanding from a CPU point of view, but I still reckon NFS was nicer to look at, with higher quality assets and a more consistent level of polish. GTA 5 and NFS would be neck and neck if they ran at a similar framerate, and again GTA is more CPU-intensive, but in the end I just feel the framerate dips in GTA 5 take some of the shine off its otherwise very impressive graphics, making NFS the better looking visual package overall.

I would say Infamous 2 had a consistent level of polish as well as more action happening. CPU and GPU together make a game look as good as it does, an open world with nothing in it can look amazing visually but I wouldn't say it makes the best use of hardware. NFS MW doesn't even look better than Infamous 2, it just looks more realistic while Infamous 2 looks like a comic and that's the art style of the game.

NFS has significantly better lighting and it still has a lot going on in its world; it may not have pedestrians, but it has NPC traffic, cop cars, and tons of destructible roadside detail like signs, bins, and letterboxes.
