If the GPU is only "just as good" why bother with GPU rendering at all? Free up the CPU for other work?

- adanto6840 7y agoYes, definitely. We did that in SimAirport, basically rendering everything as if it was full 3D and use none of the engine-provided "2D features" (which largely amounts to 'more work on the CPU'). Finding fun mechanics that add to CPU load is awfully easy. ;)
- pcwalton 7y agoIt's faster than the CPU if done properly.
