Game graphics settings rely on specific hardware configurations to function properly.
The settings in a game utilize various components such as GPU, CPU, and RAM to generate effects. These include anti-aliasing, textures, post-processing, shadows, and effects, with decisions on view distance also playing a role. The specific hardware used depends on whether it's GPU-based or CPU-based, and the extent of memory or processing power involved.
View distance is among the few parameters that likely influences the CPU, though this can vary based on factors such as physics processing or multiplayer settings. Additionally, increased texture resolution and anti-aliasing add more load on VRAM and the GPU, and overall graphics upgrades tend to put more pressure on the GPU.
I know your concern about GPU usage and VRAM requirements, especially regarding threading from the CPU.
