better gpu = less cpu heat?


Recommended Posts

the title says it all...

IF somebody got a geforce 2 for example and switches to a geforce 4, will the cpu eventually work less in a result of less heat?

o.O

not really... the CPU would work less in that most of the newer instructions would be handles by the GPU instead of the CPU but even on my 1.53Ghz CPU and a GF3 it still uses 100%. The work that the GPU takes over leaves the CPU to do other work faster so it does that which would still make the CPU hotter while playing games just the same.
