image Graphics cards in 10 years time

Imagine How advanced CPU, GPu, RAM and HDD will be in 10 years time.

you can probs build a PC that will max out crysis less than £300

You can get a PC these days to max out Crysis for below £300.

Or did you mean with actual playability?

i have a feeling that by then graphics cards will be a external case that sits next to your system with their own psu inside

2 words. Neural Implants.

Genital implants will power our graphics cards.

Cracked me up, but must censor myself - lol.

People have said for years about having graphics cards in huge external cases with their own power supply, still hasn't happened. I think tech will continue to get smaller but the end product will most likely remain the same.

Surely they will be smaller more powerfull and use less power, I dont want anything unless it fits inside my case.

Smaller lol. graphics cards are getting bigger by the gen.

neo-omega · 18 Jul 2010 at 18:19

Multi-core on board GPUs. At least this'll be the case if CPU progression is to be followed (multi-chip platforms giving way to multiple core CPUs. Who knows maybe even G-hyper threading!).

Langlest · 18 Jul 2010 at 18:20

i think they could have done with the seperate case this gen tbh

there are people having trouble fitting some of the bigger cards into cases now as it is and the temps they put out seem to be the highest they have ever been

i can imagine it would make upgrades less frightening to people who are afraid to open the case too if it was just a connection to a pci slot on the back of the tower

One thing is for sure whatever you think they will be like they'll be quite different

Very hard to predict technology that's not been created yet....

But will anyone be making PC games then? What if the next consoles don't use DirectX?

So you're all disregarding the fact that the human race is ending December 2012 huh?

Bunch of ostriches if you ask me!

last i heard, fermi had 512 cores, and my onboard GPU has 40 of em

A slim device which you can put in a wide range cool looking enclosure (i.e. a small Aluminium Lamborghini/Ferrari "box") and connectivity by USB8.0

Marine-RX179 · 18 Jul 2010 at 22:50

Ignore.

Na look at the cases they are getting bigger and bigger.

I will go with the other guy: They will be a stand alone system with there own PSU

why do people post this lol?

I'm hoping memrisitors and hardware based on graphene instead of silicon will appear.
