Oh yes! By that time we might actually move away from rasterization and use voxels for rendering games..

We'd probably have to wait a few decades for this to happen though lol.

Well actually, for voxel base rendering engine Tim Sweeney estimated they'll need 20-30TFLOPS...so it's quite plausible we'll see that in next-next gen, and/or maybe later in next gen on PCs.

Interesting read, thanks!

I mean.. if Sweeney says that it's technically possible with those specs, its probably close to the truth (the guy knows his stuff). I just don't see the whole industry making the move that early.. especially with rasterization being the standard as it is today. Maybe I'm being cynical :P but hey, I'd love to be proven wrong.
