Id Software-grundaren, teknikgurun, raketforskaren och Oculus Rift-ingenjören John Carmack förutspår en lysande framtid för PC-spelande inom de kommande fem åren.
Under ett Nvidia-event nyligen berättade han att grafikkortsprestanda kommer att vara tio gånger starkare om bara fem år. Han menade samtidigt att vi kommer att ha tillgång till surfplattor med en upplösning om 4000 pixlar.
"Five years ahead, yeah, we can probably make credible comments about that. You'll still be able to buy Xbox One or PS4 new five years from now - unquestionably. There will be tons of content developed for that."
"We'll have 4K resolution displays on tablets and HMDs, and we'll have another order of magnitude pretty straightforward on there with Moore's law. GPUs are great at turning transistors into performance and we'll have ten times the performance. It means that you can probably run that triple 4K display at double the frame-rate from one GPU. That starts looking pretty impressive."
Carmack fortsätter och förklarar att den tekniska utvecklingen löper på i rasande fart, oavsett om vi lägger märke till detaljerna eller ej.
"There's a trillion dollars in economy pushing these things so a lot of that's going to keep going, and it's going to be great to sort of be along for the ride and figuring the kind of interesting systems areas, where there's a convergence of what becomes possible now, that people wanted before, as the sort of cornerstone of where the real innovation is going to happen."
"We can always turn the cranks on what we've already got and always get better, but the insightful things are when you notice something that you hadn't even thought about and previously dismissed as impossible is now possible and orders of magnitude just sneak up on you like this."
Det ska helt klart bli intressant att se om Carmack har rätt i sina spekulationer, och vad spelutvecklarna isåfall väljer att göra av de nya möjligheterna.
