But again is that not a post for the PC gaming subforum?

Nope, since graphics cards go hand in hand with user experience. Not everyone can buy a TitanXp, but they still want a good experience.
It's the reason we have graphics settings after all. You tweak it to find your sweet spot between performance and visuals.

If you can gain 50% increase in performance, for a nearly unnoticeable drop in visual quality, many would take it. Even more so if the same setting ( DoW3 AA at High ), reduces the overall visual quality; which for many also reduces their enjoyment.

You might want every slider, and setting maxed out, even if in some extreme cases it'll make the game look worse, and run worse; or barely add a noticeable difference; but other's don't feel that way.

They're still people that would be interested in a graphics card that fits their budget.
@JediFragger seems to be one of those; he wants the sweet spot of visuals, performance, and gameplay.

Well all you ever hear from most is they want photo realistic graphics at the same time high stable framerate.

That would be so ugly for many games; and "realistic" today ages badly tomorrow. I've always been a fan of unique art styles.

I do understand that there are those that want that; but it's the reason again that we have settings; and different development, and art styles.
 
Well so much for Prey using idTech, they're using Cryengine for the game. Very odd choice given they had access to Bethesda's stuff.

CryEngine can be all over the place performance wise depending on the developer; so will be interesting to see what they manage.

Dont believe that TPU article but I wish AMD would hurry up and give us some info already. Articles like these,their complete silence and Vega matching the 1080 in Vulcan on Doom isnt inspiring confidence at this point

Vega MI25 released back in December, is 12% faster than Titan X Pascal (the old one). Yes it does inspire confidence :)

It's faster in Deep/Machine learning, for enterprise.

It certainly does. If games like LoL, World of Warcraft and some others went for the realistic look when they came out, they would have aged terribly.

Still, realistic lighting alone can make or break games. Especially with moveable sun and moonlight.

Oh certainly, but lighting is different from the rest of the graphics for models, and the like.
Very few games that went for "photo realistic" graphics in the form of models, and textures have held up well after a decade. Where as the more stylised ones have.

Even WoW uses more realistic lighting, and shadows, and I agree that's very important.
