Tomorrow is Saturday..

So what better to do than gain a thorough understanding of the inner workings of GPU's. Does anyone have any articles that explain in some detail how the GPU works, pixel pipelines VTF's and all that? I wouldn't mind something of the kind on CPUs other. The more the merrier! Thanks!

I've broken my hand. As such, my impatience may lead to poorer post readiblity than normal. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm looking for articles that explain the architecture in GPU's in some detail. Such as explaining what each thing does to put the picture on your screen.

ATI and NV are pretty tight-lipped about their internal architechtures though.

Those may not be the best links, but it should give you some of the type of info you want.

Reading through the content on this site will probably take you into Sunday... there's info on both nVidia hardware and how to code to make use of it.

I'd suggest asking this for the folks over at Beyond3D. Those guys'll give you ten earfuls as an introduction to the subject. HardOCP/Forum is primarily for consumers (the way I look at it), whereas B3D seems to be where the programmers/hardware geeks really hang out, and hence would be much more useful to check out.

thanks for this thread and the people that contributed. I'll be reading this on one of those long nights.
