The future is clearly hybrid – rasterizing, programmable shading, computed images, and many other techniques will be used. We’ve left hardwired pipelining in the past. “Graphics Emulation” is pointlessly inefficient. Hybrid is best. There are many ways to create beautiful images. As the world leader of visual computing, we have to offer whatever it takes to advance the state of computer graphics..
