It takes more and more effort, both in manpower as in graphical processing power, to make graphical leaps, and the visible returns are getting less. You can compare it to video formats: VHS => DVD: huge quality upgrade DVD => 1080p HD: yeah that definitely looks better 1080p => 4k: I guess it's a little sharper? 4k => 8k: Well it's ... more. Also: why is everything running so hot?
