There are ways to configure the texture blitter to be precisely 1:1. This is written into the GL/Vulkan standards for exactly this reason, and all hardware supports/special cases it. It is how pretty much every GUI subsystem out there handles windowing.

Yes, my point is that this is a special case separate from normal 3D graphics.

…so why are GPUs not the way to do this, when GPUs are in fact the way it is commonly done?
