In this case you are, I'm sorry to say, completely wrong. Most graphics
cards can display YUV data just fine, including YUY2. There are some
cases where the card may only accept YUV surfaces where the dimensions
are a power of two, where it might be necessary to convert to RGB first.
However, in my experience this is pretty rare with modern graphics
cards.
