Abstract
A graphics processing method and a graphics processing system are provided. A graphics processing method including: estimating a depth complexity of a tile generated by dividing a frame; visibility calculations are selectively performed with respect to at least one primitive included in the tile based on the estimated depth complexity of the tile; and performing rendering on the tile. A graphics processing apparatus includes one or more processors which determine a depth complexity of primitives input to a current tile and whether translucent primitives exist. The graphics processing apparatus may operate adaptively in a Tile Based Rendering (TBR) mode or a Tile Based Deferred Rendering (TBDR) mode according to the determination of depth complexity and a presence of translucent primitives.
