Saying it like that makes it seem like Dolphin doesn't use your GPU at all (which is only true if you use Software Rendering, which is basically a non-option for anything other than debugging).
Dolphin does rely on the GPU, but generally not nearly as heavily as it relies on the CPU. The GPU is responsible for Internal Resolution and anti-aliasing (and other stuff, to be sure). While most people have GPUs sufficient for their chosen settings, Dolphin still relies on the GPU for performance, just not in the same way as it relies on the CPU.
