AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card
(www.pcgamesn.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Because the title is still vague, and yes GPU and "graphics card" are often used interchangeably by the internet (examples: https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/tech-takes/integrated-vs-dedicated-graphics-cards and https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/connectivity-and-performance/article/switching-to-your-pcs-dedicated-gpu/000081045 ).
"New CPU hits 132fps" could wrongly suggest software rendering, which is very different (see for example https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/rad-launches-pixomatic----new-software-renderer ) 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.
