Better support for remote gaming. I want to game from the couch, but don't want a tower there. Why cant I run an app and connect to my gaming rig over the LAN and actually have a smooth lag-free experience?
Better Support for multi-monitor gaming. It's ultimately up to the dev's and directX, but there must be something you can do to promote more games to move the map to fullscreen on a secondary monitor, freeing the main screen for pure visual candy! Not just spanning the main screen across 3 screens.
I think the fastest video card should have a picture of me on the front of the casing.
What about a button to make smoke blow out the fan with the press of a button like a fog machine?
On a more serious note, at least three year warranties which are not voided by opening the case. Now, if you manage to crack a chip that obviously will not be covered.
So many diapers to buy, no way to afford a new card. I still game when I can, but wouldn't mind being able to bump up my resolution when I can get a little gaming (me) time!
Video card manufacturers should stop using cheap coolers that cool core and memory with the same cooler. GPU cores and memory should not be in the same piece of metal. GPU cores stay hot while memory doesn't get anywhere near GPU core temps. So yeah memory stays hotter than what it should be without any cooling when sharing the same heatsink with the GPU core.
I would like to see viable external expansion "bays" for laptop users so they can pop in a consumer-level video card and rock the higher demanding games on their laptop. a la http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1522180 only with a shiny case and integrated PSU!
I'd like to see a graphics solution that has a high-grade encoding system. So far, the GPU-based encoders put out some horrible quality so we're still essentially stuck on slower CPU-based encoders to get things done. It would be nice to get things done faster.
Finding a card that has an upgraded cooling solution at competitive prices (maybe $10 more than other cards using stock coolers) is always nice. I'm thinking back to the days of the Arctic Cooler and 9700 Pro days. Some cards offered that cooler stock, saving the extra cost and trouble of upgrading my own cooler.
I would love to see some better video processing chips included for video based content, something along the lines of ABT 2025 or HQV based, similar to what is found in consumer video products.
