How exactly does it work, and why do people say it’s “less resource intensive”?
In: 0
It means the CPU is doing the work that the GPU could be doing. It’s not less resource intensive unless you’re talking about some specific resource that GPU rendering uses. Software rendering is usually included as a fallback option in the event there are compatibility issues with the GPU or driver that prevent the hardware acceleration from working properly.
It’s kind of like saying a car is less resource intensive than a train. There may be some tasks where that’s true, but it’s not the case for the tasks trains get used for.
