So far as high-end games from the last couple years that might fit the requirements, the main ones have already been mentioned: Dragon Age, NWN2 & Mask of the Betrayer, etc.
If you drop the requirement that it be the sort of game that puts your hardware to the test, then Knights of the Chalice (pure awesome) and Avernum 6 fit perfectly. They're not pretty but what they do, they do right (KotC in particular blows every other turn-based combat RPG out of the water).
And if you're willing to have the game be from the last ten years instead of the last two, then the big ones that fit the bill have been mentioned: Baldur's Gate II, Icewind Dale I/II, Temple of Elemental Evil, Wizardry 8.
