CPU Graphic Fill rate

it's 1.6 GHz for both cores - that would be cheating for them to claim otherwise

Its incredible fast to make use of d3d and render 2polys without any transformation on
And you also can render a pic as background etc

My Mirage 3 Graphics is faster than CPU on rendering a 3D graphics. It can process about 2 Millions triangle on 75%. If I used a software rendering like renderer 2.0 it took 100% at 15 FPS. Renderer 2.0 is good but without any accelerator, the animation FPS is not look good.

Obviously GPU is faster because it had hundreds of core. And if I saw it from the basic driver for a GPU, it seems we cannot use each individual core for our own, but we need to use it as a set of function like, draw lines, draw polygon etc.

It would be really cool to figure out how to manipulate GPUs from assembly language. If nothing else, just to understand how they work at a low level. :bdg

I think if it is possible, it would be just IN and OUT instruction, and a lots of "magic bytes" involved on low level programming.
