We have seen some interesting innovation on the aib boards on 1080

Asus with built in fan controller
Gigabyte? With HDMI inside for VR.


What would you like to see in the future?

Personally I would to see temperature plug from the you to the motherboard so you can adjust fan curves using the GPU in the uefi
 
Just sell a bare PCB that end users can attach their own cooler to.

If intel can do it with CPUs there is no excuse why AMD and NVidia can not do it.

To keep the price even lower the PCBs could come without any accessories as most of them don't get used.
 
More focus on SLI 2way support. Re-designed better performing SLI system.

A 4K 60hz card capable of any settings. That isn't going to take another 20 gens and not require you to be a millionaire to own.
 
SLI development is going to need a complete rethink. I'd like to see it being presented as a single card to the OS at a high level.

There are some hints with DX12 that it's possible to get much better performance out of 2 cards than with SLI is a game is programmed in the right manner so it seems to me that far better performance is possible.

I'd also like to be able to set GPU overclocking, fans etc in the BIOS/UEFI rather than needing to run software. If people do want to run software then they should be free of course, and it's perfectly possible to do CPU overclocks via software.
 
Real Time Ray Tracing hardware in a desktop card that can be used as a hybrid method with traditional rendering. That would offer a number of large advantages and make graphics far better and faster. If mobile GPU's can do it then there is no reason why desktop GPU's cannot.

Would also be nice to see a TBDR desktop card again as they are so much more efficient then the IMR cards that AMD and NVidia use.

you can set clocks in the bios if you flash it :D
 
I'd like some more flexible form factors - I've always felt like the typical PC layout (essentially a box) is reaaaly inefficient in terms of size and cooling. I was really impressed with the current Mac Pro when it came out and MSI recently came out with the vortex which looks equally interesting, albiet being very expensive.

I really don't see any reason why there couldn't be similar styled cases which consumers could drop components in to like we do now. But of course that would require a new motherboard form factor, as well as flexible PCI-E connectors, GPUs with heatsinks, video outputs etc in sensible places. It would make for much more compact, probably more cooling efficient systems.
 
I don't know what in hardware would help the most with this - larger memory, more memory bandwidth or something else, but I want to see more of a focus on realism in games - better textures, better shadows - than on framerates and resolution. I would be far happier it past 1440p studios and hardware vendors focused on improving realism.

Though I don't know how that translates into hardware requirements.
