What controls AI in games?
TheArchitect:
Say in like ArmA II, Crysis or any game where you can spawn AI easily. What computer part would you want to be faster/better to have more AI at once? Is it the processor or like the video card? I have been trying to research for an answer. Nothing has came up that answers my question fully.
Sirrus:
Processor handles the AI calculations.
Video card handles the rendering of the AI models.

So if you had a bad processer, the AI would be more predictable, right?

No it would just calculate slower.

Which then would make the FPS decrease? Would the 9800GTX+ and the Intel Core 2 duo 3.0ghz E8400 be a good combination?
