When will graphics get better?

[PrinceJaykay]

After gaming from tv games of 2 white rectangles & a white square to the first consoles Atari Intellivision, to ZX Spectrum, to more consoles, to pc's, when the heck are games going to become more realistic??
I have a £3k system & for some reason after waiting decades I expect by now for games to be practically real, or at least to the same as tv shows on Sky Military, can hardly be bothered to play anymore with graphics hardly seeming to move forward, CoD yes they have good graphics compared to the rest but tiny maps, no vehicles etc & still not realistic.
What power pc would you need for these high detail graphics I yearn for, when is it going to happen, when are game designers going to max out on graphics instead of creating games that could be played on a 386sx just in case someone hasn't upgraded in eons.

COME ON!

I think Crysis on the highest settings at a high resolution is amazing!! I don't think there's a game that is good graphically and that was released in November 2007. Some modern gaming PCs still struggle with it. Just think if that's nearly 2 years old how good they will be in another 2 years!!
