Why does a computer run a game poorly, but is able to show a video of it perfectly fine
In: 0
The video is already rendered, meaning the computer knows what pixel has to be what color ahead of time.
For a video game, the computer has to render the image on the spot, taking into account where objects are, how far away they are what their texture is, any lighting, and if there are brother objects in front of it.
This is why GPUs are so important, because doing this math is very hard work, and GPUs are specialized to do that work. The same is true for crypto mining, 3D modeling, video rendering (ironically), and basically anything with vectors.
