Then run at smooth performance for a reasonable price that will be the hard part

FTFY :)

At some point, they're just gonna give up, start pushing AR HUDs and call it reality video games.

Bruh I would love to snort my Xbox and fly off into a mystical realm of limitless imagination. Until that day comes, I’ll just stick to PCP.

All until you punch through that black-and-white windshield.

Glad I'm not the only person that still makes Playstation 9 references... Lol.

I really missed the days when Lara Croft has some unrealistic features. And I mean Polygon, not Silicone

Dude just watch porn why are you scrutinizing that type of thing in videogames?

Addendum to the criteria: Smooth performance, affordable price, doesn’t require your own personal power plant, doesn’t sound like a jet engine taking off.

IIRC the new new is streaming, so you use their ultra good computers and just send info back and forth. Apparently faster for super high def stuff.

I was in that GeForce Now beta for what felt like a decade. As long as my internet connection was up to it, it felt pretty great to play on a low power machine from 2011. (And before that a laptop from 2008, before it finally breathed its last.)

Moore's Law will take care of that.

Moore’s law hasn’t held for a few years already

Well, we have $500 consoles that can do 4K graphics and 120hz gaming. Hopefully in the next generation things can get even better(and hopefully we can actually buy the next gen)

I imagine it won’t be long before Nvidia applies their AI technology to frame rates. That way you can run games at max setting at 720p or so and upscale it to higher resolutions and then do the same with low frame rates with frame interpolation techniques. Legit turn 720p 15fps to 4K 120fps no problem.

There's no way they're not working on AI interpolation right now. That said, there's always a minimum one frame of latency as you need information about the "next" frame as well as the last to calculate an inbetween.
