The gaming industry has grown rapidly, increasing the demand for more powerful graphics hardware. Modern games now feature real-time rendering effects, such as detailed physics and ray-traced lighting, that traditional CPUs struggle to handle alone. NVIDIA has responded by innovating GPU features like RTX ray tracing and DLSS AI upscaling to meet these needs. This study examines the performance of a typical laptop integrated GPU under gaming conditions to highlight these trends. We created a Python-based monitor, using psutil, and ran Grand Theft Auto V on low graphics settings. The results show that the integrated GPU significantly burdens the CPU, with CPU usage spiking around 90–95% during gameplay and high memory usage as well (see Table 1). In contrast, dedicated NVIDIA GPUs offload much of this demand to specialized hardware, such as RT and Tensor cores, and use DLSS to improve frame rates. These findings indicate that future games will depend more on dedicated GPUs. NVIDIA RTX cards will be crucial for real-time ray tracing and AI-driven upscaling, enabling better graphics without sacrificing performance.
