Reply to comment by WeirdGamerAidan in ELI5: Why do computers need GPUs (integrated or external)? What information is the CPU sending to the GPU that it can't just send to a display? by WeirdGamerAidan

Yeah, sort of. Another way of thinking about it is that the CPU is giving the GPU a bunch of legos and instructions because the GPU is faster at building legos than the CPU.
