There's a lot of things you could ask a more powerful piece of hardware to do.

Things like raytraced lighting for ambient occlusion , final gathering, and subsurface scattering. If they could run those things real-time, game images would look a whole lot closer to reality.

Of course personally, I'd rather see game makers use that kind of raw power for new types of stylization.
