When did graphics start having diminishing returns for you?

Well diminishing returns means that the leaps and beyonds is getting smaller to grasp. It is not that cap of capability. 

You can still greatly improve it, but the leap between Generation 6 and 7 from console stand point was huge, same with generations before it. Generation 7 and 8 is not as much, and it might because the gap between PC gaming and consoles has lessened (PC gamers will hate me for saying that). 

I know very well what it means, and that is why I said what I said. We're nowehere near it. People are just feeling less impressed thanks to a stop-gap generation that is the current one.

I've said it before - it's the hardware that's to blame, not graphics reaching a point that the showcase leap is shrinking. Not yet, anyway.

Would you say its the choice from MS & Sony to go for cheaper hardware compared to previous generations or that hardware is progressing at a slower rate?
