Dreamliner Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rendering Hardware acceleration was implemented into RuneScape in ~2008 via OpenGL. Hardware acceleration is utilizing the GPU to preform common CPU tasks. The GPU renders the vectors that the CPU produces to draw them on your screen. So yes, OSRS utilizes your video card.
