NVidia doesn't provide official specifications, but a lot of community effort is spent in the [http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ noveau] project, which can be sourced for examples and documentation even though such reverse engineered specifications aren't complete nor guaranteed to be accurate. Marcin Kościelnicki has been writing down unofficial specs in his [http://0x04.net/cgit/cgit.cgi/envytools/tree/ envytools] repository.
