Hyper-realism pushes your CPU more than standard renderers. Reality uses a separate technology, it doesn't use the built-in renderer of Studio. Reality is not a preset library or a series of clever shaders, it's a completely new, separate rendering solution for Studio. Materials and lights are calculated based on real-life physics. As such your CPU is pushed harder than before. Having said so, I am testing it, among other things, with an old laptop. If your hardware is older you have to settle for lower-resolution images or longer rendering times.
