Pointless screensaver-like demo visualization apps might see an unexpected revival. Think tutanchamun mask projected onto mirrored sphere floating above infinite checkerboard, or even just the randomly swooshing hairline polygons on black, perfect to show off superior pixel density. Last time this has happened, customers were faced with a similar mismatch between theoretical multimedia capability and available content.
- bitL 11y agoThat would require a fanless GPU capable of 4k @ 60Hz. But we can dream ;-)
- usrusr 11y agoAnything capable of painting a modern channel selector UI on that screen will be generously oversized for recreating effects from the screen saver age. But I get your point, it may take a while before those screens become must-have gaming accessories. Even if you had the GPU resources to achieve high FPS, an excessive increase in screen resolution would only expose low polygon count artifacts without a matching increase in scene complexity.
