I do realize that gamers aren't the most logical bunch, but aren't most games GPU-bound nowadays?
- hn3er1q 2y agoNot a gamer but I would guess it depends on the graphics settings. At lower resolutions, and with less lighting features, etc. one can probably turn a GPU bound game into a CPU bound game.
- brokenmachine 2y agoI believe it does, that's why they test gaming CPUs at 1080p even when using the fastest GPU.
