Why does a computer need a dedicated graphics card for high-graphics video games, but can play 4K quality video without one?
In: Technology
A video is like a roller coaster track. It’s already built (rendered) so all that is needed is some minimal power to power the cart through it.
A game is a roller coaster on an empty lot. When you sit in the cart, the track is being built in front of you as the you move along! The track also responds to wherever you want to go. To do this requires a lot more graphical power than just playing a video.
