Probably a little controversial, but I hardly find games to be as good graphically to games. Just look at Unreal best graphically of to Morrowind best graphically of and I honestly think Unreal is far superior graphically.
Sure you could say that there's a lot more going on in the background, but that's no excuse for two years newer CPU's and GPU hardware. I wouldn't say that Morrowind is graphically the best game of Also Burnout 2 was released for PS2. All of which are more impressive to me than Morrowind graphically speaking. So no, I don't think games went backwards after 3dfx died.
Didn't they have trouble keeping up? PC graphics are typically held back for the sake of the OEM consumer market since they're the majority of the customer base. You'd really need to target Intel Extreme , S3 Savage4, Xpert Play and other slow cards and onboard chipsets if you want maximum sales for exasmple. I don't think it has anything to do with the fall of 3dfx. Clarke "No way. Installing the drivers on these things always gives me a headache.
Morrowind is other genre, it's not correct to compare. In happened "terrorists" explosion of WTC and near buildings. This could reduce financing of planed entertaining projects and hence their quality. I interpret such opinions as preferences of visual style, rather than graphical fidelity related to technologies. Lot of confusion is created by mixing those two,. What about Halo for example? I quite liked how that looked on my Radeon I play a lot of Elite Dangerous and I often think to myself "This game would look awesome in Glide" I mean, it really isn't too far fetched.
Just means that something as high quality as Elite Dangerous could have technically existed 10 years ago or more. But yeah. Morrowind won tons of awards for the best graphics in And yet the characters, animations, environment etc etc are all horrible compared to Unreal in Glide. But like I said I do realise that Morrowind technically is doing a lot more in the background. Also I am talking about hardware from that period - don't go thinking about your modern Morrowind with all its plugins and overhauls with updated graphics card drivers.
