I always have this question in my head: If I have a very good video card, will the GPU calculate the geometry instead the CPU?
I currently have a note with a i7 3632QM, and a intel HD4000, no dedicated video card. When dealing with very large models the GPU are using very little power while the CPU is full. I understand that the CPU is dealing with all the geometry and the GPU with texture etc. In this case i no longer need a better GPU. But if the GPU deals with geometry in very good cards its great news.
