Not strictly true... I've worked on backend servers that used the graphics hardware to render the pictures (Graphs etc) for the application. Hardware assist meant they could serve many more users that if the work was done on CPU alone... Graphics hardware isn't always about rendering to a screen... (Although I admit it's one of the few times I've ever seen this done, I think it's kind of cool. Although was skeptical at the time :)
