Abstract
Systems and methods for improving rendering performance of graphics processors are disclosed. A graphics processor may be configured to maintain access to multiple framebuffer sets stored in a non-transitory processor-readable medium. Two or more framebuffer sets may be configured to support different numbers of samples per pixel. The graphics processor may be further configured to determine whether a performance metric of a first frame processed using a first framebuffer set exceeded a threshold. The graphics processor may select a second framebuffer set with a reduced number of samples per pixel compared to the first framebuffer set when the performance metric of the first frame exceeded the threshold and process a second frame for display to a viewer utilizing the second framebuffer set.
