If you ask a gamer who upgrades the CPU and graphics card first, the answer is mostly the graphics card. Although the graphics card determines the frame rate of many games, this does not mean that upgrading the graphics card is a panacea for improving the experience, because some games have a more effective effect on upgrading the CPU, if you want to know which hardware you play the game more, please follow me on the road from getting started to giving up.
First, let's introduce the role of CPU and graphics cards in games. In the AAA masterpiece, the CPU is mainly responsible for logical operations, giving instructions to the graphics card after feedback on the player's operation; and the work of the graphics card is image rendering, depicting the scene and specific images in the game.
The CPU performs motion and collision calculations
Simply saying that the theory may not be easy to understand, in other words, the CPU needs to calculate the action, motion, collision, interaction, etc. in the game, calculate the scene that needs feedback, and send the relevant data to the graphics card.
Graphics for scene and item map rendering
After receiving the required data, the graphics card renders the picture, including the change of the scene, the change of light and shadow, the action of the character and various special effects, which must be completed here on the graphics card, and then the signal is transmitted to the monitor.
The scene of "Torchlight" is large, with many characters and rich items
Then the hardware requirements of a game are easier to judge: if the game's scene is large, there are many characters and interactive objects, then the game has higher requirements for CPU computing power, such as "World of Warcraft", "Minecraft", "Torchlight" and so on.
Tomb Raider's scenes and objects are modeled in a delicate way
Correspondingly, if the environment in the game is complex, the scenes and objects in the game are beautifully modeled, and the textures are diverse, there are higher requirements for the performance of the graphics card, such as Crysis, Battlefield: Rebel Company, Tomb Raider, and so on.
Smart you must have found that if the game meets the above two characteristics, both grand scenes, sparkling water, and a variety of characters and items, and even rain and snow and other different weather, you need is that the CPU and graphics card have the strength to play smoothly.
Understanding the hardware requirements of different game characteristics, we can easily grasp the hardware that should be upgraded first, in addition, if the game is not particularly much, then you can compare the recommended configuration of the game to choose, which can also be convenient. In addition, it should be noted that if your game frame rate has reached 180fps or even higher, but the monitor is still 60Hz, then you may wish to upgrade the high refresh rate monitor, which will also have a good effect.
