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 have to render graphics on demand because you can’t predict what the players are going to do, or where they are going to go.
While a TV just plays a recording, there is no rendering required. All you have to do is play what’s in the signal.
