What is competitive about textures? Is eSports an arts contest now? You can't seriously suggest that having better textures makes a gamer better at playing counter strike.
4K high FPS is exactly the kind of useless numbers game I'm talking about. There's a point at which humans don't see differences anyway. Especially in those super high competitive games you also have pretty fast paced movements, you can't see texture quality.
Yes, if compared in a lab environment the newer card will probably create a better image, but we're pretty close to "virgin blood infused speaker wires for audiophiles" territory.
Games and hardware have been passing the ball back and forth and I think games have the ball right now. It's only a matter of time until we need more power again so why slow down? Besides, the people who don't want realism already benefit from it by having cheaper and more efficient parts.
