The problem is not what can we render.But the time needed to make the assets for games. The biggest leap in game graphics won't be by video cards, It will be AI technology that can make asset creation more feasible.
Photogrammetry is nice and all, but utterly useless as anything but background decoration. Sure you can create extremely good looking meshes with almost no effort, but it's all static and unoptimized. it's a mess of unnecessary polygons, that will wreak havoc with anything you'd need your game engine to do. Like collision detection for example.
There is a reason why this technology is always showed off on foliage and terrain. Because it is not really suitable for anything else in games.
