Sure that will come at a premium but that is 2 and 3x the stated required performance. Dialing down to a "low" 1680x1050 resolution would give you even more headroom. Xbox360 is stuck at 250 gigaflops. This is an example of the PC getting dragged down by console gaming. We are still stuck in the Xbox360 era which is 5 or 6 years old now? I think I was using a 4800SE 6 years ago.
From a purely math perspective, sure. From a software perspective, not quite. So much of what makes a game look good today is art direction and textures. At the end of the day the graphics are only as good as the artists. The 360 is getting pretty old, but new games still look great.
