It's like what I say from time to time, 4-way SLI doesn't make the game 4 times better.
[QUOTE=wlzshroom;30360580]there are a lot of games being made for atmosphere these days and atmosphere doesn't really work when everything looks like ass[/QUOTE] Atmosphere can work with any quality graphics. The deciding factor is the skill of the artist, not the power of the tool. Look at Windwaker - excellent atmosphere. Hell, Metal Gear Solid pulled off great atmosphere, and it looks like ass now.

[QUOTE=wlzshroom;30360682]i meant ass as in looks like shit when given other games on the same hardware that look better[/QUOTE] So by that logic Minecraft is a sucky game, because it looks bad compared to Crysis. My point is that I cannot think of a game you can make on a theoretical ultra-console that you can't make on a current console. The closest I can think of is, surprisingly, LA Noire. The facial animation is key to gameplay. That's good - that's using powerful hardware to make new gameplay, not shining up old game styles. You couldn't do that with real-time graphics on a PS2 or a SNES. You could do it with FMV, though, so that could've been a last-gen game. I've been racking my brains to think of something that could actually use that much power for gameplay. Some sort of realistic firefighting sim, possibly - fire and water are both very difficult to simulate, and realistically-spreading fires would be important for gameplay there. Limited market segment on that one, though. Something with lots and lots of AI, maybe - playing as the Director in a city-scale Left 4 Dead, perhaps, with thousands of AI survivors and millions of zombies. Those two are the only ideas I can think of, and they're honestly not pushing gameplay too far.

Really, the only genre where hardware could improve it, that I can think of, is huge-scale RTS. I'm not talking something like Starcraft 2 here, I'm talking way, way bigger than that.

Hey guys: Go to [url]www.google.com[/url] on any browser other than Chrome and click anywhere except for the buttons or textbox. Now type R, then I, then P, then U.
i once had a friend who was going SLI with 2 460's. he thought more gpu's = the graphics look better. :suicide: although, this is the guy who thinks you can just get a gpu and a sound card and the processor is useless (his logic that because gpu means graphics processign unit, he can just use that to see and do stuff with and a sound card to listen to music and he's set) so i'm really not suprised.
Well more video cards tend to allow you to increase graphical options so by proxy, more GPU's in most cases could increase the level of graphical fidelity. Though obviously not directly.
well technically if you've got multiple cards you will be able to push the settings higher, leading to "better" graphics. in a sense he's right on that point. [editline]9th June 2011[/editline] brt you can just go die or something
Come on my face, bro. Or however it goes.
yeah but what he thinks is basically that four cards in sli = real life on a disc.

brt i'm sorry but i'm not going to be able to come on your face as you likely live in a different state making sexual contact between us impossible if you like i could prepare a jar or other container of my semen so that you might spread it upon your face at your leisure [editline]9th June 2011[/editline] i will need a mailing address
[QUOTE=Brt5470;30361957]I'll await shooters response to my post.[/QUOTE] Ok. 350% or less on the newest games with 3GB VRAM and crazy resolutions 4x that of the average user? EDIT: Assuming the average user has a 1080p monitor Ok.

Point is it scales rather well and the days of diminishing returns no longer comes into play if you have the money. 350% is not really that bad considering the complexity of the system.
