What the fuck does it MEAN?
Are we going to get a massive leap in graphics quality and performance in the next couple years? Or are developers just going to take it as an excuse to not optimize their games and shit will be the same as always
Will the new cards be good enough to upgrade cards even though I just got a new one like 2 years ago?
yes keep listening everything marketers tell you
graphs going up mean good things who cares what they mean

No, because games are made for consoles

Consider this image.
You're used to seeing huge leaps of graphical quality, because i'm going to assume you're not an underage b& and grew up with things like the Nintendo 64's polygon count and watched it explode from there.
There is an upper limit, and we're already pretty close. You can't make a sphere more spherical. Well technically you can when we're talking about triangles, but will it matter?

Welcome to the future where hardware constraints become further and further away. Clean code, creative implementation, and skillful use of tools is a thing of the past.

literally retarded
No as only few will have enough dosh to make any use of it(studios)

I would love to see more improvements in physics. We hardly see games that are ahead of their time in terms of physics like Half life of FEAR

No we wont, because consoles.
No one will devolop games exclusively for new PC GPUs.
The most youll get will be postprocessing eyecandy, higher framerate and resolution.

And against a x64 CPU?

THIS.
You'll only get the most a console can get, although with decent resolution plus some minor details.

I know people always call bullshit on that image, but it's genuinely true. The human eye's sensitivity actually crashes as you considering smaller and smaller details. It actually crashes faster than exponentially. There comes a point when we just cannot see the details.
Now, they could dedicate the effort to other areas like lighting systems, but there are diminishing returns there as well.

All I read is, my no-talent having ass can get a job developing games now.

This, what good are reality-like graphics if you kill someone and they drop like a fucking plank, or a car crash between two stones, give me a game where you crash against a house and you realistically bring it down, then I'll be impressed, something like what crackdown aims to be but I can't really trust them

GTAV restored my faith in developers to take advantage of extra horsepower. Though Rockstar's programming team is probably the best in the business.

Yeah getting gta v to run on the x360 and ps3 was wizardry
Only other game that made me wow at it's graphics was ffxiii on ps3
>>331559225
it's cool that ps4.5 comes in some time, nvidia and amd will be forced to create competitive products for reach sony quality (not hard at least).
>>331566584
with the 2000 polygons is perfect we just need to add it the needed materials and will look likethe 40000 polygon version.
>>331559225
>more 'power' than ever before
>video game industry wastes it on graphics
I want bigger world with more objects, fuck graphics.
>>331567614
Dude no
The titan x and 980ti are already several times more powerful than a ps4
Even AMD is way beyond the ps4
Unless the supposed ps4.5 is literally 4/5 times more powerful then it will never catch up
