Computer Graphics

Computer graphics are a blatant example of how much computer technology has improved. The difference between a LCD monitor and a CRT TV is huge. If you show a Ps1 game and a Ps4 game it is astronomical how different the games are. Caring this between the watch design of a watch created  being 20 years ago and the a watch being created today, the overall feel is pretty close. There is certainly differences but for the most part, a watch's basic functionality and design hasn't changed that compared to the basic functionality and design of a graphics card or integrated graphics card.

Here is a quick comparison between the IBM 8514a (yes, IBM made graphics cards!!!)
And the Nvidia Titan.
The sheer difference between size and power is clearly shown, there wasn't even fans on the one of the first graphics cards. The architecture and chip design has made major improvements as well as the general audience buying computers has improved. Allowing for the technology to improve at an amazing pace.
