The reason that I am having problems understanding this is because when I imagine crypto mining, I imagine basically an infinite command prompt constantly running. In my uneducated mind I don’t seeing this as a graphics drain I see it as taxing the gpu and ram. I am below beginner in my knowledge of computers. Thanks in advance!

A graphics card is hundreds of tiny CPUs working together to solve a bigger problem
When being used as a graphics adaptor, they process maths and display the result on the screen.
When being being used for mining, it does the same thing, but the output is not a graphical output. the result is fed back to the mining program.
