The problem with makeing a game noone with less than a 1080 Ti can run at 1080p30fps, is that market share is too small.

Such a game would be crazy expensive to develope.

And if no one (very few) buy it... whats the point? its going to be one of those games that ends up bankrupting the people that develope it.

Some of the CGI movies have 10 or more hours put into rendering each frame.

We won't render that quality in a few milliseconds, not for another 20 years.

By farms of of PCs no less.

If I had it my way, all games would look like Cosmos Laundromat and run at 60+ FPS, but that will not happen in my lifetime.

That's kinda stupid. Even if it was made for a specific card you could easily run it on most other cards. That's the magic of PC games. You're basically just asking what would happen if a dev would spend a ton of money on ingame arts. It would look great of course. But through the magic of programming every game can run on every platform.

The goal isn't to make the most beautiful game for the smallest user base. It's about making most games available to as big of a user base as possible and let them choose how good they want the game to look and run.

Just look at Skyrim. Thanks to it being on an open platform it can look extremely pretty and it didn't even cost a single cent for the devs.

I have 1 word to you: Crysis

Period! No matter how much you tinkered with the settings, you couldnt get it to run decently on most cards until like 2010.

That's just wrong. You could run the game no problem in 2007.  You just couldn't max the settings. I ran the game on lower settings and I definitely did not have a high end card at the time.

Of course you'd be able to run my proposed game on lower end cards, for example you could watch the intro and see how the menus looked, but as soon as u get ingame then ur fps dives into single digits.

My HD 5870 managed it pretty good back in 2009. And that wasn't a crazy expensive card (I think around 300€)

Sure, could have been better but still. And nowadays, engines are better optimised and you would have more possibilities to play a game even on a not so great card as long as you would lower some settings.

That wasn't because it was looking so great. It was because it was programmed by monkeys. Much like 2 and 3. You can have the same visual quality on much less capable machines. Just let Naughty Dog develop for PCs and you'll see what's possible.
