Why can’t we make graphic cards equipped with visual capabilities of 20 years from now, today?

So my question is while we know in what direction the graphic card industry will go in the next 20 years in terms of more realism, better shadows, textures etc etc, why can’t we produce those results today?

​

When I was like 15 years old (I am 29 now) people used to speculate how graphics in games would be in 10 years down the line, most of it has turned out to be true. So why do we have to wait for such incremental changes every year?

Hardware innovation will continue as it does but recently we are starting to hit some physical limitations given currently technologies. Breakthroughs are coming though i am sure.

One of the breakthroughs is leveraging software more and Machine learning in graphics. Example some companies are actually predicting pixel placement to take some of the processing power away from graphics cards. It’s incremental and hidden but software advancements will help squeeze the experience from each graphics card.
