How does the CPU, GPU and RAM help in 3D games?

Question by tuckging: How does the CPU, GPU and RAM help in 3D games?
Like does the RAM help in loading times? Does the GPU help in framerates? Does the CPU help in texture filtering or model detail? This is so that I can set the right settings for my games, for example, high texture but low model details because I have a fast hard disk but low-end GPU.

Thanks! :D

Well….
RAM is like how much data u can hold at one time….
so loading times dun really do much with ram if the game needs 512MB but u have 1GB or 2GB….. unless u are comparing bus speed of the RAM… like the 667MHZ and 1066MHz.

CPU is how fast a certain function is processed? (maybe pressing the trigger)… i am not really sure on the this portion though….from what i think, i don’t think so as CPU has more to do with actions than graphics..

GPU, well that is yr video card…, how fast the graphics can render.
so it does help in framerates…

Q&A: How much does the CPU affect FPS in 3d games compared to video cards?

Question by Steve M: How much does the CPU affect FPS in 3d games compared to video cards?
Is there some kind of comparison of different CPU’s with the same decent video card? I’m planning on getting something like a GeForce 7600 GT and am wondering if my Pentium D 2.8 Ghz will be decent? Most of the tests I see have better CPU’s then mine, how much will it affect my performance?

Best answer:

Answer by Scott D
That processor is plenty, it really doesn’t affect fps in 3d games all that much. The only games that are fairly processor intensive are rts type games. And also you would have to replace your motherboard to be able to get any large increase on processor performance.
