Gaming Blend "The new benchmark in visual fidelity is no longer Crysis. No, instead, across all forms of digital and cinematic media the benchmark is now James Cameron's Avatar. With that said, AMD has already mentioned that the next gen Xbox could produce Avatar-like graphics and the co-founder of Geomerics has followed in AMD's footsteps claiming that lighting capabilities could hit that benchmark as well."

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.

This is like when they said the PS2 would look like Toy Story.
Xbox 720 and PS4's graphics could look like Avatars CGI. How many times were we told that games will look CG in a new gen of consoles? Maybe it could happen for real this time but I'm not holding my breath.
What a load of hogwash
Just bring it already!
might happen, well maybe exclusive you all seen how good xbox and PS3 exclusives go. before they talked about how the first uncharted was using nearly the full power of the PS3 and now look at Uncharted 3. same goes for xbox on Halo. compare the first exclusive for the new PS4 and Xbox720 to the last and there will be a difference. might be a CGI lookingish but idk. do you get what im saying? sometimes i get scattered. lol
