Imo I think it pays off to learn the actual graphics pipeline and what the 
process is really doing from direct memory in CPU to GPU. Graphics are so 
sensitive to performance and minor optimizations it would no doubt bother me 
deep down inside if I didn’t have 100% control over the process. Overall it’s 
only a minor part of the code actually so once you get it down it can be buried 
and not worried about later.
