18.6.2 Will the engine be more or less cpu dependant than EverQuest?
No matter what, you are always going to be either CPU or GPU dependant (yes, you could be IO dependant.. but jeez if that's a problem go back to the drawing board!). It's part of the fun of being a programmer to constantly switch the onus from CPU to GPU as we optimize whichever side is slower. Not a glamorous answer, but a truthful one. - Ryan Elam, Lead Programmer
