Is the PS4 OS graphical effects rendered in the CPU? If not then even if the effects are 2D some (small amount) of the GPU must be reserved for it.

What OS graphical effects? The PS3 OS graphical effects are made by GPU? No.

Until the Metro UI the Windows didn't used GPU for graphical effects... just after it they stated to use GPU... the Windows XP didn't use any GPU for it and it had more graphical effects than PS4 OS.


Any idea if that alpha blend / transparency that happens when you enter the XMB from within a game is CPU or GPU rendered?  That's the only OS related graphic function I can think of.


In Windows even 2d graphics are handled by the graphics card via special functions. Doesn't mean 3d-units meant for graphics are used for this on PS4 but I'd be surprised if not.
