Computer Graphics

The Geeks of 3D reports on a slide mentioning the next set of drivers from NVIDIA will be supporting OpenGL 3. This is perhaps the first semi-credible public evidence that OpenGL 3 is going to materialize within approximately 6 months, if we’re to trust the timeline also displayed on that slide.

We’ll get there

C0DE517E has a very nice 3 part introduction to how GPU work, both from a logical point of view and from an implementation, how-it-works-in-the-real-world point of view. It’s a good read for anyone unfamiliar with graphics hardware.
