For real, you believe cloud computing can improve graphics?????? how naive.... :/

It's logical that it can.

It's logical that if you off-load some aspects of the rendering that you free up local resources.  Therefore, you can use those free resources to do more.

So, yes, of course I believe cloud computing can improve graphics.  It isn't naive.  The technology has been demonstrated.  In fact, I just got done with a White House presentation regarding where technology is going and just take a guess what was one of the topics being discussed? 

What you think is possible doesn't matter.  What is possible has already been demonstrated and it'll be a reality.  You can dismiss it all you want, doesn't matter.  People dismissed the automobile when they came out.  People dismissed front-wheel drive when it came out.  Aluminum engines.  Safety glass.  Seat belts.  Smartphones.  The list goes on and on.  

Your ability to see beyond your own nose doesn't mean shit.  It's your own limitation.  The reality is that in the near future, cloud-based computing will off-load computing needs from the local machine to a remote machine allowing the local machine to do more with less processing power.

It won't matter that you have to always be connected, because always being connected is becoming a natural thing.  If you own a smartphone you're always connected.  It's a natural part of owning a smartphone.  You're already becoming acclimated to the idea of being always connected, you just don't realize it.

"It's logical that if you off-load some aspects of the rendering" this is why i call you naive, a 30 fps game renders the entire pipeline in 33 miliseconds, now go to the command line in your computer and ping google, type "ping google.com" you will see it takes up to 100 miliseconds for the answer to return, and note, the google servers didnt do any calculations they responded instantly, in this ideal condition, if a game were to off load anything from the rendering pipeline to a server capable or returning the data instantly you would get 5 frames per second, read that again 5 FRAMES PER SECOND.

The bandwidth between the memory and the video card of the ps4 for example is 176 GB/s, lets say the average house has 5 MB per second connection, adding cloud computing with the ideal conditions were servers take 0 second for calculations and an imposible 0 seconds network latency would increase processing power by 0.002840909091 %.

Do you understand now, how stupid it was when they tried to sell cloud computing as something that could improve graphics ????
