Let’s use Balders Gate as an example… the majority of the really “graphic” intensive parts of the game are the cut scenes and not the actual game. So why would it need a substantial GPU? Isn’t it just playing back a prerecorded video much like a TV would? Or am I thinking of this wrong?
In: Technology
video games need to compute the image – graphic cards are really good compute engines. in contrast we transmit the full images to the tv it just displays the image no computation is required
in contrast a dvd has all ofbthe images for every screen pre calculated and will not vary
in a gane you raise a weapon and its image must be computed. in a movie its already in the digital film/dvd
