Wouldn't it be a similar amount of graphics used as putting in a man's beard?

Also did most people have to upgrade their graphics cards to play Horizon: Forbidden West? I thought it was scaled to most people's setups?

With Horizon Forbidden West now available on PC, benchmarks have revealed whether the game plays better on AMD or Nvidia hardware. While GeForce GPUs put in a respectable performance, it's clear that the port runs best on Radeon graphics cards.

Despite its origins as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, you don't need the best graphics card to play Horizon Forbidden West. In fact, the game appears to run well on aging pixel pushers, providing you're willing to turn down a few settings and make use of dynamic resolution scaling (DRS).

AMD's victory in Forbidden West has been certified by Computer Base, which tested more than ten graphics cards across multiple generations and manufacturers, using a Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU to get its results.

Yes, but a beard on a man makes up a significant part of his appearance. A few barely visible hair do nothing for graphics except waste performance - a negligible amount tho, tbf.

But then again, afaik, the in game model has none of this facial hair. It's just on the box art.

I would say the key difference is that facial peach fuzz will be virtually invisible except in a close up still frame, and if it's missing it won't be missed.

It's also possible that some details don't render unless you are close enough to see it, and so it won't take up much space

I'd counter by saying that girls and women playing this game would be able to identify with Aloy and real representation of women in media would be missed.
