That’s a good question @yomimoto ,
I think @jlampel could give you a great answer.
I would suggest still optimize mesh objects the best you can, even with better graphics and faster CPU’s. Remember that everyone has different hardware. Good practice when marketing a game would be to make it available to as many people as possible. If you only develop a game for high end hardware your losing thousands of potential sales.
Modern games will use higher resolution textures rather than denser meshes.
I hope this answers your question.
