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.

You know how you have a CPU, with an Intel or AMD chip? It’s the main brain. It’s a general processor, as opposed to your GPU. That big expensive and wide card that mostly does floating point matrix manipulations. It’s good for 3d graphics.
The CPU needs to know how to use this tool though. It’s a computer, it needs very specific instructions. You can’t just say “hey, draw teapot”. And every GPU card is a little different (and every CPU needs different instructions). The instructions for how to use the GPU are capped graphic drivers.
