As the gaming industry evolves, gamers are becoming more sophisticated, and their appetite for higher quality games are growing. In this day and age, it's all about 3D games.

They want to be totally lost in the games during the game play, and having realistic 3D graphics helps to accomplish that. For example, if you are a car racer, you want as close a feeling as you can get to being a genuine car racer. That means you want to race in an electrifying atmosphere, with flash lights going off in the crowd and being surrounded by many race queens and lots of media attention. And you can't duplicate that experience with generating realistic 3D images with excellent lighting. And having a little bit of extra power comes in real handy to help achieve all that.
