Circuit desing? A homemade GPU wpould be one HELL of an achievement
If someone actually managed to fab a silicon chip on ANY fab size to a GPU that would simply light up the monitor and display normal desktop stuff, it would be one hell of an achievement. Don't think anyone would care whether or not it accelerated anything, anymore than they did when some hobbyist made an 8 bit CPU and system around it that actually functioned from discrete transistors.
Even if fabbing the chip went out to an engineering shop that does such things, once the chip was on a homemade board, plugged into a board and running it would be a huge deal for them. Following the whole process of GPU development back from the beginning might be exactly the approach to follow
