Cause it's not optimized and relies on ancient technology so it doesn't have the gpu ha file hardly any processing.

Almost all of the graphics data is processed on the CPU in conquer which is a massive waste

It runs DirexctX, so it has hardware acceleration. Aka. you cannot run the client without a GPU. You can't run it on a normal VPS, which is I'm sure what the issue you're trying to solve is.

It's gonna be the same thing as the other thread of what stats I need to run 2222222 clients or some bullshit.

The amount of work it sends to the gpu is insanely minimal compared to the CPU which is just poor optimization on their part.
