I thought computers just show image files like PNG format into the monitor directly. but after some investigation I was impressed by the complexity of the process.
The term “Computer Graphics” appeared for the first time in the 1960s. Researchers wanted to represent visuals on the computer mathematically. It meant everything on the monitor except text and symbols.
The process starts with a task being sent to the CPU.
After that, the CPU generates some mathematical instructions then these instructions get stored into the VRAM (memory like RAM but for the GPU — Its function is to store instructions and data for the GPU to execute).
The GPU then executes the instructions in parallel after going through a couple of processes.
Finally the GPU sends data to the monitor for each pixel. Then the process of lighting each pixel according to data differs from each monitor type and another.
By the way that’s not everything. it’s just simplifying the process. I hope I helped you understand it. I think it’s kinda impressive. what do you think?
