  2. Free and open-source graphics device driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source...

    The Videocore GPU runs an RTOS which handles the processing; video acceleration is done with RTOS firmware coded for its proprietary GPU, and the firmware was not open-sourced on that date. [92] Since there was neither a toolchain targeting the proprietary GPU nor a documented instruction set , no advantage could be taken if the firmware source ...

    AMD Graphics with GCN or RDNA architecture with OS X 10.11 or later; NVIDIA Graphics with Kepler architecture with OS X 10.11 to macOS 11 operating system; NVIDIA Graphics with Maxwell architecture or Pascal architecture with OS X 10.11 to macOS 10.13 operating system; The second version of Metal supports the following hardware and software:

  4. Scalable Link Interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface

    GeForce Boost allows the rendering power of an integrated graphics processor (IGP) and a discrete GPU to be combined in order to increase performance. [17] HybridPower, on the other hand, is another mode that is not for performance enhancement. The setup consists of an IGP as well as a GPU on MXM module. The IGP would assist the GPU to boost ...

  5. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    A classic motherboard with on-board integrated graphics processors, a discrete graphics card can be installed at a PCI slot. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards.

  6. Mesa (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics)

    Matt Turner said it was much easier to fix this in the translator program than having to make Mesa's compiler carry the burden of dealing with such bloated shaders. shader-db cannot be considered free and open-source software. To use it legally, one must have a license for all the computer games that the shaders are part of.

  7. OpenGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL

    The GL 2.1 object model was built upon the state-based design of OpenGL. That is, to modify an object or to use it, one needs to bind the object to the state system, then make modifications to the state or perform function calls that use the bound object. Because of OpenGL's use of a state system, objects must be mutable.

  8. Nvidia Optimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus

    Nvidia Optimus is a computer GPU switching technology created by Nvidia which, depending on the resource load generated by client software applications, will seamlessly switch between two graphics adapters within a computer system in order to provide either maximum performance or minimum power draw from the system's graphics rendering hardware.

  9. AMD Hybrid Graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Hybrid_Graphics

    The Hybrid CrossFireX is a technology allowing the IGP, or Integrated Graphics Processor, and the discrete GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, to form a CrossFire setup to enhance the system capability to render 3D scenes, while the Hybrid CrossFire X technology is present on the 790GX and 890G chipsets, with two supplied physical PCI-E x16 slots at x8 bandwidth, [12] can form a Hybrid CrossFire ...
