- nsxwolf 4y agoIt would be fun to have this go all the way down into the silicon, to the transistor level and beyond.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoI'd certainly have liked to read what happens all the way up to the GPU. I need a better understanding of how the operating system talks to the GPU and how all these graphics are represented and manipulated by the hardware.
- nicopappl 4y agoYou'd definitively be interested by the ryg[1] series on the graphic pipeline. It goes in details about how bits get to the GPU and how the GPU handle them. The author writes that using a 3D graphics API is a prerequisite. To the contrary, the series itself is great to get a grasp on things and not feel completely alienated by 3D graphics APIs if you ever decide to use one in the future. It's fairly old (2011) but I still see it recommended as a relevant resource today.
