DirectX Architecture Resources

Question

Can anybody please please post links to DX Driver architecture which covers topics like block manager etc etc. Hell lot of google search but i am not satisfied with what i get from google. nvidia specific resources preferred.
MSDN also seems to focus on DX APIs only. It dont curse them as they don't control the drivers.

Answer 1

I'm not sure, but may be "A trip through the Graphics Pipeline 2011" will be useful for you...?

I believe, that some aspects of "D3D/OpenGL graphics pipelines as actually implemented by GPUs" can give you a hits of what to search to retrieve more actual information about drivers.
