Default Circuit Design

So I know this is probably a pretty silly question but it something I just gotta ask. I am really interested in circuit analysis and circuit design. I am a sophomore in Electrical and Computer engineering and am currently enrolled in a circuit analysis course (2nd semester of it) and an electric devices course.

Now I have turned my eye on my passion of gaming. I was wondering if there was any way to look at the technology graphics card manufacturers utilize in their design. I doubt that companies put out schematics, but I want to get out of resistive and analog and into digital circuit analysis. I want to see how these cards work.

Any ideas ( im serious here)?

Yeah, logic, I should be getting into that more next semester. I wouldnt mind just doing a lot of research by myself, if it comes to that.
