Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card
AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 9 months agoBecause 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.

Which is why the title was momentarily impressive. Was thinking some ‘in the lab’ demo cpu.
