Game settings help??

[Javier Ewe]

Hello there!

I have a Core 2 Duo machine (E7500 OC @3.35ghz) paired with a GTX 970. Basically, my new motherboard for my new CPU is taking some time to deliver. So, I am stuck with this for the moment.

I was thinking of playing GTA V and was thinking what settings to play on.

I have two displays, one is 1920x1080 @ 60HZ and the other is 1280x800 @ 75HZ.

Is choosing any make it more cpu dependent?

I am also confused on how game settings work.

If i choose low settings, lets say cpu workload is x and gpu workload is y.

If i choose high settings, will cpu workload stay at x and gpu workload increase from y or does cpu workload also increase?

GTA V is a terrible game for this type of setup as it is more CPU dependent, i know.

Thanks for taking the time to read!

The higher the setting and resolution the higher the workload on both the CPU and GPU but most of the workload is placed on the GPU.
