I know you've seen NVIDIA's Ira demo running on a GeForce GTX Titan but I bet you've never seen it run like this. Thanks to KrylonArt for the link.

Wow! PS4 and Xbox One will be smoked by the next gen NVIDIA tablet architecture within a year. Of course that's if NVIDIA actually delivers in a timely fashion.
Firstly, it's a single head. It shows us nothing, cause try putting a few of those into a game with full scenery going and I'm sure it'll bog the system down to hell. Anyone remember the Radeon 8500? They had a similar tech demo like Nvidia's new Ira. Except it's a girls head that talks. That's from 2001 and we have games that barely look that good now. Animation makes or breaks how a game looks, and a lot of games have terrible animation.
This is not the full demo that runs on the desktop cards. Thus version was simplified for Logan (geometry, textures, etc...)
If you actually read about Logan, you would not post that about the XBOne or the PS4. It will not surpass or be near the XBOne or the PS4..
Even if it is scaled back a bit, for a mobile device it looks pretty impressive to me. Now to see if NVidia can actually deliver.
Now what we need is for desktop games to come up to at least somewhere near the level of this "mobile" demo. Then we can rightly justify shelling out big bucks for the latest hardware.

That's a great idea, too bad it's not feasible. As people have pointed out(and linked to an old ATI tech demo) the entire problem with expecting nvidia or any company to "deliver" on this, is that in an actual game you need to render more than just a floating head.
Can the hardware do this for 40 characters at once? Can it even do it for 10? Can it do it for 10 characters while rendering a full body, the environment, backgrounds, and physics of objects in the environment?
No.
These tech demos are great examples of "Look how awesome our card is at doing exactly one thing that isn't really usable in a real world scenario!". Unless your goal is to do nothing more than maybe make an interactive Max Headroom, it's pointless.
