Doom 3 and half-naked fairies
The Holy Grail in the battle for dominance of the graphics world has always been cinematic-quality performance. If you can get a game that's as graphically complex as "Shrek" or "Toy Story" to run smoothly on a PC, the theory goes, you'll open up the gaming industry to a vastly larger audience.
For years, nVidia and ATI have claimed to hit that milestone every time they have a new chip coming out – though that has generally been more PR bluster than fact. They're making the boast again about their latest releases. And while the skepticism is still thick, even critics are acknowledging that the gap between in-game and on-screen graphics is quickly shrinking.
