A graphics rendering method includes obtaining, by a central processing unit (CPU), to-be-processed vertex data. The to-be-processed vertex data is vertex data used by a graphics processing unit (GPU) for graphics rendering processing. The method also includes processing, by the CPU, the to-be-processed vertex data to obtain vertex data within a field of view of a user. The method additionally includes sending, by the CPU, the vertex data within the field of view of the user to the GPU for the graphics rendering processing.
