i hear terms as graphics drivers, opengl, directx etc … alot. even though i have looked them up i never understood what they really are. it would be great if you could give me a slight idea of how graphics work in computer or atleast point me to good resources.
In: Technology
Drivers are low level, they work with a kernel to control a graphics card.
OpenGL and DirectX are graphics libraries. These are included in applications that run with the OS.
Think about going to a burger joint. You aren’t operating the grill yourself. You put in the order, you can change some things like excluding items, but then the worker grills & assembles the burger to be enjoyed by you.
You putting in your order is using the libraries, the person running the grill would be the drivers.
