    I am curious power of what does Postprocessing use? Is it GPU? Is it CPU? CUDA maybe? :) I have weak GPU Nvidia 330m but powerfull processor I7-740qm which doesn't use all what it has. So if I choose postprocessing in Games on, will game become better while stays the same playeable or it will load GPU and become slower?
    And what will I see in the screen because of this postprocessing?

    Postprocesing should go to the GPU, it is the logical hardware since its where all graphics are processed. From wikipedia: this article (check the 3D rendering section for common postprocessing effects which we've heard for a while).

    Hope it helps :D
