So you expect Titan X Pascal specs by 2020? I wouldn't bet on that.

PC has been a pretty big force in the industry for longer than that.

Let's look at games before 2003... Diablo, StarCraft, WarCraft, Evolva, Dungeon Keeper, Battlezone, Sacrifice, Arcanum, Baulders Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Heroes of Might and Magic, Kings Quest, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, System Shock 2, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Doom, The Settlers, Civilization, Alpha Centauri, The Sims, Age of Empires... And More. We had tons of games that would later end up console at some point... Some even becoming massive multi-platform franchises like the Elder Scrolls.

The Audio revolution happened on PC. Was pioneered on PC.

The 3D revolution happened on PC, was pioneered on PC.

... And while you were busy playing your Playstation 2... The PC was dabbling in Tessellation that wouldn't appear in a Playstation console untill the Playstation 4.

In the mid-90's you could game in 1080P whilst consoles were experimenting with 480P...
In the early 2000's the PC had 4k displays whilst consoles were starting to push 720P with the 360.

PC Gaming has always been *massive* and without it, your consoles wouldn't be as powerful as they are today, it's all thanks to the PC and PC gamers funding the technological progress of PC GPU's over the decades.
Many great GPU companies litter the ground with their ashes, but pushed innovation... (3dfx, 3Dlabs, Rendition, SGI, Number 9, Tseng labs and more)
Companies like S3, Matrox, PowerVR and more bowed out of the race... To have AMD and nVidia emerge and become the status quo.

Back in my younger days people used to dial into each others computers to play multiplayer games.. My high school would hold "Lock in" nights where we were locked into a room with dozens of networked PC's all playing each other for 24 hours straight no sleep... And this was all in the 90's.
Consoles wouldn't start to push internet gaming until the Dreamcast/Original Xbox years later.

Dude dont be putting things down the back of my neck. They are "my friends" so clearly i do be around in their homes and do talk to them so i know what they fucking play. Or are you really trying to tell me that the isnt people in ireland/uk who just own a console to play fifa?.

Anyway th point was the is people on all platforms who play the same game way too many times PS4 isnt immune to this so end of story and stop trying to take the topic back off topic or tell me what i should or shouldnt know about my friends.

So you expect Titan X Pascal specs by 2020? I wouldn't bet on that.

Calm down dude, no one is doubting all of that. It was just my understanding, like someone posted before me, that PC was not really mainstream back then. While still big wich I now understand you have to admit that it is nowhere near as pc gaming is today, while consoles where at their highest back then thanks to ps2 and some will argue that console are shrinking  in market while pc still increasing.

Thing is, VR can still go up to 16K or even 32K. (Each eye has a fov of about 150 degrees, combined nearly 180 fov, 100 pixels per degree is a good approximation of reality, humans can spot differences upto 200 pixels per degree) Plus the new DCI-P3 color space only covers 54% of human vision, rec.2020 can reach about 76% Then there's HDR range If we really, really wanted to use the old EOTF gamma, developed for analog CRTs, we would need something like 14 or even 16-bit for HDR.

It has also been shown that 240fps still has benefits. Nevermind we can't do real time ray tracing yet, and are still stuck with ancient stereoscopic displays to simulate 3D. Volumetric displays will need a whole new order of processing power.

So don't worry, still plenty room for improvement before looking at better gameplay ;)

Actually VR has the biggest and fastest room for improvement. Once pupil tracking becomes fast and reliable, as well as liquid electronic lenses, VR glasses can use foveated rendering to reduce the strain on the gpu by an order of magnitude, as well as simulating correct depth of view, naturally bringing things in focus when you look at somehing near or far, adjusting the focal point of the optics in the process. Again an order of magnitude cheaper than actual volumetric displays. It's all tech that exists now or very soon, 11K 5" displays are coming, eye tracking VR headset is in the works and liquid lens cameras are already on the market.

The future of gaming is in VR. Can't wait to get my hands on the 2nd generation VR version that's coming out now. I never got to try one in the 90's. Yet imagine what it will be like in 10 or 20 years.
