"The interesting bit is that we're getting so close to photorealism that 'improved graphics' as a selling point is about to hit a wall."

We have the ability to get pretty close, but game dev teams are no longer pushing hard to make new engines that utilize our vid cards anymore. And haven`t been for a few years imo.

IMHO the wall you speak of was hit 5 years ago.

I used to have to buy a new card every year to take advantage of the new effects game devs were putting in their game engines. But that ended about 5 years ago. For the past 5 years I used a GTX 295. Cause there has been no reason to upgrade.

From then till now we have seen nothing but regurg. Hopefully with Mechwarrior Online using the new Cry3 Engine, we will start to see some new next gen visuals coming our way this year from other Developers. But even then, it`s doubtful. I finally upgraded to an EVGA 680 GTX SC. But I still don`t think we will see anything that requires this kinda horsepower for another year. Maybe 2.

The posted shots of Unreal 4s stuff looks late dated ass btw.
