Thats what i call grfx boys and girls.. look at the faces... no more puppet looking charackters..no .. real photrealism:

But unfortunatly.. i think the hardware will need 15-18 years from now, till we will see this facial animation and detail on charackters in such a detailed enviorement as shown in the ruby demo.
Like 30 Gtx 480 and a 25 GHZ Octacore..and were there
Its a mix of voxel and and polygon, raytraycing tech used for the demos.

Some Crysis employees have seen them live

Sorry i ment Crytek employees... my fault

PS: add an edit button!

Good luck getting at least 10fps in that benchmark even with a gtx 480.

The gameplay matters most for me , seriously I'd play Crysis even if it had DOOM graphics.

No way, i give it 5 years. Look at the character graphical difference between Farcry and Crysis and that was just 3 years, now look at Starcraft II another 3 years on and the character detail in that game (engine cinematic) is second to none. I'd say 5 years from now and we'll be pushing enough poly's to do photo-realistic faces.

Excuse me for being a newbie retard,but can these benchmarks actually harm hardware?Whenever I max out a game(I don't have the best PC out there)and it runs at 25-30 fps,i feel like the computer is overheating and damaging itself.I might be crazy but still.

The benchmark will only harm your computer if you have insufficient cooling systems... Benchmarks are meant to strain your system 100%, which is why they are really good for testing a new overclock or hardware to make sure it is stable.

If you have sufficient cooling, the worst that can happen is a complete lockup of windows or a bluescreen...no hardware damage is caused by benchmarks, but they do find any hardware issues. So if your computer bluescreens from it, then your computer has a hardware problem.
