why does the graphics rendering of night scenes more demanding than day scenes in games?

533 views

This may not apply in all games but I’ve played some games with day/night cycles, but overall the experience I got was that most of the time, when during night time, the game had FPS drops lower than day time. For example, I played NFS Heat and I get around 30 fps at day. When I play at night, for some unknown reason for me, it drops about 5-10 fps at most. It’s a very shallow question I know, but I would love to get an answer from y’all since this has been one of those things you can’t really shake off your mind

It most likely has something to do with how the game handles reflections and shadows, but this will vary greatly on a game by game bases.
