For those that weren't around at the time, this was like the jump from prop planes to jets. Such a large leap from what had come before.
Reading the resolution and FPS numbers it doesn't seem that impressive, but doubling both FPS and pixels and adding a bunch of new things like reflections and water at the same time was just incredible.
i remember getting my first one. it was an amazing time. played a lot of games back then. not so much now. i just can't keep up with the upgrades, so i just play older ones every now and then.
a modern equivalent would be moving from an old pc with hdd to a new one with nvme ssd.
That is an excellent comparison!
