I think the best graphics I've seen to date has to be the new Tomb Raider.    Incredible

Here's my problem:
100,000 times faster=100,000 times more powerful computer.
100,000 times more powerful computer=200,000 times more expensive.
Sorry but I just don't see that happening flawlessly in 20 years and coming down to a reasonable price .
