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!
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 The system was designed on an outdated overly (extremely) complicated proprietary IBM power pc type architecture.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.
@@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.

This was more informative and fun to watch than any other video about computers I've watched. Please do more of these explaining what different components of computers do!
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.
Your thumbnail makes me think of the pictures of the back of massive server walls, with red cables everywhere. Like The Shining but made of bloody spaghetti.

@ACAB\\ Mela BAKAta No sorry -- then say "power" or "energy". If you can bring up voltage than you can describe it correctly. This is a video called "what's inside your graphics card?", it's supposed to be technical. Voltage and current are 5th grade science concepts that everyone should know. If it's "easier" for you to not understand how electricity works, then you probably shouldn't be watching this video.
@@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.

I do remember some article on the internet tell the reason why GPU tend to have thousand of cores or even more, where CPU just have 4,6 or 8. it gives the analogy of painting something really big, Imagine you have a task to paint a football pitch size picture in a limited amount of time, would you have 4 very professional painter or would you have 500 average painter.

GPU cores such as CUDA cores and the cores in a CPU shouldnt be compared, thats a bit misleading and incorrect. Also, the cooling on gpus doesnt expel the heat the way you showed, its reveresed, it sucks up cooler air and blows on to the heatsink and across the pcb(if that specific card doesnt have a thermal plate between the heatsick and pcb. and vram isnt quite comparable to system memory, they behave completely differently.
All this talk about the GPU passing data to the computer, when in reality it's the other way around and you didn't even mention HOW the graphics card produces the video signal?
I just looked this up and at 5:40 you said and the graphic shows that the fans pull air through the heatsink but what I found said that most of the time video card fans blow air from inside the case onto the heatsink. Good video though always like to see others and myself learn things I didn’t know.
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.
I know it's counter-intuitive, but in some applications the fans can better displace heat by pushing air away from the unit, while pulling cool through the heat sink. I believe that's how all modern CPU and GPU fans are oriented. For my CPU, for example: If looking at my PC from the left side, with (
Everyone needs to see this, there is no video actually explaining what any parts REALLY do and what they're meant for (sorta), definitely should do more of these videos! Keep up the good work!
"Whats inside your graphics card?" Oh, a PCI-Interpreter which funnels into the task on-load memory which feeds the GPU which smashes that data with render data which then throws it into a compiler which then encodes it for your display at the proper v&h sync rates + resolution.... Oh, at a couple hundred million times a second too..
Hey guys this one is great, I'm working as IT in Norway and this video is perfect to show the less knowledgeable. I'm gonna show this to one of the students we have interning and that's gonna be a great way to learn. Keep up the great work!!
@@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. :>

@@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.
@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.
A circuit board is not made from a wafer. The GPU and other ICs are made from a wafer which is cut from the silicon. The PCB is made of stacked layers of metal and insulator. The metal is etched away leaving traces which form the electrical interconnect between the components mounted on the circuit board.
DRAM and SRAM, SRAM using a design called a Flip-Flop to store the data (one bit at a time), until another bit of data is shifted into it. DRAM uses capacitive cells that hold charges which represent the bits of data, the capacitive cells normally don't hold their charge for long, but they allow more data to be stored in one DIE than using a combination of Flip-Flops connected together.
A PCB isn’t printed on a wafer, it’s printed and laminated on a non-conductive substrate. ICs are “printed” (In a way..) on silicone wafer, which is a semiconductor.
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
You probably already heard this a bunch... but its actually General Processing Unit for GPU I thought it was Graphics processing Unit too, because I found out GPU's are also used for rendering and other things like crunching number for mining.
Hey, I really don’t mean to be rude, just a constructive criticism. The “VRMs” you highlighted were actually just the capacitors, which commonly come in round aluminum cans with a bicolor design to denote polarity. Capacitors help keep voltage stable, but they rely on the vrms, which are actually a separate IC, to regulate the voltage to a set number, which the capacitors then charge up to so they can deliver that power if there is a sudden spike. The VRMs set the voltage and regulate it along with the current, and the capacitors just smooth spikes.

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.
Also, most current graphics cards use _GDDR5_ not -GDDR6-
Mine uses GDDR6 am I cool now
New ones use ddr6
Most yeah GDDR5 and GDDR5X
The PCB is also known as wafer? I dont think so..
Thank you! That made me cringe so hard.
@@AjayBrahmakshatriya watch out for the bread boards then xD
It actually is. In Indian colleges we call a pcb a wafer in our labs. It's just fun to call it that.
It is nicknamed a wafer. They explained it perfectly. The actual name is a substrate and the nickname is a wafer. Its a common term
Does that airflow chart bother anyone else but me?
Cynep yes, the animation is poorly, but also the information. It gives the bare minimum and does a bad job
I know it's counter-intuitive, but in some applications the fans can better displace heat by pushing air away from the unit, while pulling cool through the heat sink. I believe that's how all modern CPU and GPU fans are oriented.
For my CPU, for example: If looking at my PC from the left side, with (

Graphic Card caught fire on VRM. Then Artifact damage on VRAM.
Pretty simply and nicely explained. Great video! :^)
Man your way of explanation is great I have never seen any one explaining a concept this clear....
As someone who is trying to learn about computers from very little previous knowledge, please make more of these... it’s very helpful
Just bought a GTX 1660! I can't' wait to play with it RE7.

"Whats inside your graphics card?"
Oh, a PCI-Interpreter which funnels into the task on-load memory which feeds the GPU which smashes that data with render data which then throws it into a compiler which then encodes it for your display at the proper v&h sync rates + resolution....
Oh, at a couple hundred million times a second too..

"....voltage flows towards the...." i hate to be 'that guy' but voltage doesnt flow, current does :> great video
voltage has propagation time aswell though, doesn't it?^^
@@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. :>
5:50 aren't fans blowing air into the heatshink/card?

@@nylesmith6563 You're talking about case fans and case airflow, that's another thing.
@@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.
What if a graphics card had a graphics card? 🤔

@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.

Random Information: You can't use 2 different GPU at the same time
Me: GPU IS GPU
A circuit board is not made from a wafer. The GPU and other ICs are made from a wafer which is cut from the silicon. The PCB is made of stacked layers of metal and insulator. The metal is etched away leaving traces which form the electrical interconnect between the components mounted on the circuit board.

Gameranx has been bought by Disney, probably.
DRAM and SRAM, SRAM using a design called a Flip-Flop to store the data (one bit at a time), until another bit of data is shifted into it. DRAM uses capacitive cells that hold charges which represent the bits of data, the capacitive cells normally don't hold their charge for long, but they allow more data to be stored in one DIE than using a combination of Flip-Flops connected together.
A PCB isn’t printed on a wafer, it’s printed and laminated on a non-conductive substrate. ICs are “printed” (In a way..) on silicone wafer, which is a semiconductor.

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

You probably already heard this a bunch... but its actually General Processing Unit for GPU I thought it was Graphics processing Unit too, because I found out GPU's are also used for rendering and other things like crunching number for mining.
Hey, I really don’t mean to be rude, just a constructive criticism. The “VRMs” you highlighted were actually just the capacitors, which commonly come in round aluminum cans with a bicolor design to denote polarity. Capacitors help keep voltage stable, but they rely on the vrms, which are actually a separate IC, to regulate the voltage to a set number, which the capacitors then charge up to so they can deliver that power if there is a sudden spike. The VRMs set the voltage and regulate it along with the current, and the capacitors just smooth spikes.
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
Ram, A CPU, and a graphics processor. Am I right? I didn't watch the video yet.
Edit: I meant about this in the GPU, not referencing anything else.
I honestly don't like the "cheap" animation here
I prefer the photos or more animated animation
At least for me this new form with the animation repeating with no change is honestly boerding and a pain to see, its lovely drawing but there simple and on the screen for too long without changing (like the waffer part has the guy chiung the same part for like a minute, its just not engaging
That is why he is speaking
@@bogdanmitrovic1180 ya, and that is relevant to what I said how?
Point is want to go animated? Great go all the way
But this feel like something between the "old" format and a "new" one
Its not still yet its not fully animated that to me at least the end result just looks "cheap" I. Honestly prefer images, over this I prefer stock photos over this
There is less to look at, there is just more "random" movement on screen
They talked before, and they talk the same now, just have overall to me at least a lesser experience overall
What a perfect design representation, great job even on small components and zooms
The animation is amazing. And very informative. Thank you

Finally! My question have been answered, on "how did gpu fits on laptop"
5:52 its not how it works, cooler dont suck up heat from card, in such a small solution its simply more eficient to blow frash air on heatsink.
