Yeah slightly misleading but I guess they did mention a card specifically, not GPU.
But for a moment I was like wow, 100FPS in software rendering, that’s impressive even for an EPYC.
Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card

A bit misleading, what is meant is that no dedicated GPU is being used. The integrated GPU in the APU is still a GPU. But yes, AMD’s recent APUs are amazing for folks who don’t want to spend too much to get a reasonable gaming setup.

Thank you, that exactly was my point.

They state in the title and description graphics card, not GPU. Implying a dedicated graphics solution not an integrated one.

Wow, it’s almost like that’s why they said you didn’t need a graphics card, instead of saying you didn’t need a GPU!
AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Because the title is still vague, and yes GPU and “graphics card” are often used interchangeably by the web (examples: hp.com/…/integrated-vs-dedicated-graphics-cards and www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/…/000081045 ).
“New CPU hits 132fps” could wrongly suggest software rendering, which is very different (see for example gamedeveloper.com/…/rad-launches-pixomatic----new… ) and died more than a decade ago.

Up until the G in 8700G I totally thought ‘software renderer’ and was hella impressed. So yea, totally plausible it could have been described better.

Software rendering hasn’t worked in 99% of games made on the last 15+ years. Only the super under low fi hipster stuff would be fine without 3D acceleration.
