What's Inside Your GRAPHICS CARD?

[@gameranxTV]

Hey folks! It's Falcon. We just put this out and I noticed around 4:20 (nice) I said "PS4," but it's actually PS3 that has separated RAM - PS4 has 8gb GDDR5 that the APU (combo GPU/CPU architecture) can distribute however it needs to. It was a slip of the tongue and we wanted to make sure people understood the correct information. Thanks everyone, and hope you like the video!

[@rehmanarshad1848]

As I remember it was 512 mb of total ram, which was split into 256 mb of ram into two separate memory pools, this was a bottleneck. This also made data compression and programming for the 7 spe's (kinda like cores, but not really, they broke up tasks such as audio, and graphics, etc) into a HUGE PAIN!!! This is why the ps4 has no ps3 backwards compatibility. The system was designed on an outdated overly (extremely) complicated proprietary IBM power pc type architecture. In comparison the xbox 360 xenon CPU was the first dual core processor in a console (it had a third daughter die, core which allowed for 6 simultaneous threads) and it was relatively easier to program for since the memory was never split, and the architecture was rather straightforward. This is why multi-platform titles looked better on the xbox 360, rather than the ps3. It wasn't worth the extra effort for some companies to deal with it. Thank god AMD, got Microsoft and Sony to accept x86, as a viable option!!!! It's made cross platform development for console's and even PC a breeze.

[@Glyn-Leine]

@@rehmanarshad1848 never knew how things were with the ps3🤔 at my school i learned development using playstation dev kits from later than 3, and they prepared us by developing remotely to a linux machine. and the preparation was actually not bad due to the playstation seeming very similar to the type of linux machines we used to develop for. (the linux machine also used shared memory and an APU)

[@gramthelamb]

Wtf did you mean by minimum 12gb ram, 1 minimum tends to be 8gb of ram and even still 12gb Ram is a weird amount it tends to be 8 or 16

@@Glyn-Leine yeah sony makes all of thier system firmware on BSD which is also a unix based system. You can install yellow dog linux on the ps3, before it was later patched out.

Using the system the way it was meant to be used.

[@T33K3SS3LCH3N]

The computer in a computer analogy is great. In essence a normal computer is mostly concerned about handling many different things sequentially, whereas a GPU is optimised for parallelisation (doing the same thing many times at once) and therefore has many cores that all do the same thing at the same time. This is why GPUs are actually used in many sciences for non-graphical purposes for parallel computing purposes. The reason this parallelisation works for graphics is because the general process of real-time graphics rendering has been relatively standartised for a long time. They always go through the same couple steps, each of which designed to allow for many independent parallel calculations. The minimum is: 1. Deform every vertex according to the camera, 2. put a raster on top to see what is "behind" each pixel, 3. calculate the lighting for each pixel to get the colour. In the end it becomes possible to apply even shadows to every combination of pixel/light source without knowing the rest of the world, so the lighting can be entirely parallelised with each pixel calculation being independent of the others. For a long time engine developers could barely even program the GPU. The process was simply preset and they could only change around some parameters. These days GPUs are a lot more like CPUs and allow much more customised code.

​@@NillKitty I agree that if you're going to specifically mention something in a video, it could at least be accurate - Especially on the fundamental points. It is somewhat of a noble pet peeve. But I feel that the context supersedes that - the whole video was topical, general, and (as stated in the video) simple, which I believe is the opposite of technical. It was not meant to be a class and at no point was anyone taking notes on the EXACT way any portion of the graphics card works. Pretty sure the cartoons and phony, under-detailed diagrams gave it away for everyone else already. You made a fine correction, just lighten up a bit? It's all you're really lacking here. "Probably shouldn't be watching this video?" You should "probably get off your high horse." I'm not an electrician but I still play computer games. Now that I've watched the video I'm more interested in learning the specifics later on, so I say this cartoon video accomplished what it was meant to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Voltage correction ✓ Interest in GPU ✓ Senseless snobbery ✕. ;D

[@OfficialMageHD]

@@nylesmith6563 Except that's not how most are oriented. GPU fans are pushing air through the heatsink, the main difference you see there is blower style fans which are still pushing air through the heatsink, but are more aimed at pushing the air through the shroud of the GPU and out the back of the case from there. As for your CPU example you just put the fan on a different side from normal, and even on the other side it's doing the same thing, forcing air through the heatsink and in most setups towards the rear exhaust of the case. There's no difference in performance whether it's pushing through the heatsink or pulling through the heatsink since you're dealing with the same stream of air. You just have a different physical reference point of where the air is being pushed/pulled from due to focusing on the fan. The air is forced through the heatsink in both cases. The air flow direction of the fan doesn't matter unless it's actually affecting where it's sourcing the air from. And as for the stock heatsink fans facing the sides of the case rather than front/back, you're only going to have an issue of "circulating hot air in the case endlessly" if you don't have any intake or exhaust fans.

[@johnuferbach9166]

voltage has propagation time aswell though, doesn't it?^^

[@logancapes]

@@johnuferbach9166 Well, it depends on how you are looking at it. Voltage is an instantaneous measurement. You will also hear it referred to as "voltage difference". Everything has a voltage, even the ground. We more or less just call the ground 0 volts. When we measure voltage, it is always with reference to something else. If nothing else is explicitly stated, then it is usually assumed to be ground. Current can be thought of as the "flow of voltage" in a sense. When 2 objects with different voltage potentials come into contact, then the "voltage will flow" from the object with a higher voltage to the object with lower voltage. This "voltage flow" is current, hence the name (current flows). The greater the voltage difference between the objects, the greater the current flow. I understand that this seems like semantics, and seems picky. And it probably doesn't matter to say "voltage flow" if it helps others get a better understanding of the world... BUT... If the goal is to be accurate, then current flows and voltage difference dictates the amount and direction of the current flow. :>

[@GeorgeD1]

Around 5:40, the airflow path you show is almost never like this, not in any graphics card that I know of at least. The heat from actively cooled components transfers through the heat sink and the fans then draw in cooler ambient air and push it towards the heat sink and the PCB. This also provides some cooling to components underneath which don't necessarily need own heat sinks but could also benefit from the extra air flow from the top. The warmer air is then pushed out through the sides and/or the I/O shield (where you connect your monitor to the graphics card).

@@jamesisaac7684 I have two gtx 1080 and I want to just tell you, sli isn't what it use to be. It's not a great boost at most things.

[@factsandstuff2832]

@Zwenk Wiel eventually I plan on building my own desktop. (Or at least getting a prebuilt with upgradeability) but right now a laptop works better for me because 1. It's more convenient when I go back to college. 2. Takes up Less space. 3. Easier to move if I use it for apps like Skype.

Best video i have ever seen about tech

[@markcollins5901]

A PCB is not called a "wafer." On the other hand, integrated circuits, such as the GPU die itself, are etched on a silicon wafer (substrate), before before being cut (from all the other dies on the same wafer) and packaged. The package is then soldered onto the video card's PCB. The point here is that the silicon wafer is a completely different thing than the PCB.

[@histrigaming7344]

The board looks like a hd 5750 to me Have one as a htpc Gpu :)

[@ethanwiebe6483]

to me it looks like a shitty mock up of the rev 1070's and 1080's

@5:45 ahh the heat arrows were going in the wrong direction! Air goes into the fan and out onto the heatsink and out the sides or front & back depending on the fin layout. Heat generated at the PCB transfers into the heatsink via contact, and gets dissapated by airflow

[@ScreaminSeahawk]

Thank you so much! This is so much easier to understand vs just explaining it. I would love to see more videos like these.

[@TheIceThorn]

the only wrong thing is the airflow of the graphics card :| you won't pull air. Never. Unless you like to incinerate your fans.

[@musecraft2704]

was looking for that. also, the other component (ribs) are not for airflow direction, they are for storing heat and exposing to the airflow in bigger surface

[@khrosis5587]

Had to scroll way too far down for this

[@Leo-zv7qq]

ehhhh the info on here isn't totally correct. some parts aren't the best but its most people dont' care about the true specific details about most electronics

[@MixerTrshur]

I dont have nothing in my graphics card ... Because i dont have one ...

[@GrimOfDonuts]

Pretty neat animations, and the general gist of graphics cards is there- though I wonder if a collab with a computer tech geek would help make things more clear and understandable. On my Tim Talks Tech channel, this is a topic that I am going to get to at a later date (it’s a very new channel, and I’m still learning lots when it comes to media creation- but I’ve got some graphics cards I will use in a real tear down and will go farther into detail on parts and such)

[@QuackersForMath]

4:54 - those are capacitors, the square things next to them are the VRM modules.

[@wake8129]

No. They are the capacitors yes but the square things are not VRM modules. VRMs are made of 3 components. A capacitor, choke and a MOSFET. Those three components combined is what makes up a Voltage Regulator Module.
