"The industry status quo is to push ultra high display resolution, ultra high texture resolution, and ultra sharpness. IMO a more interesting next-generation metric is can an engine on a ultra-highend PC rendering at 720p look as real as a DVD quality movie? Note, high end PC at 720p can have upwards of a few 1000's of texture fetches and upwards of 100,000 flops per pixel per frame at 720p at 30Hz."
