Abstract
A method dynamically selects one of a first sampling order and a second sampling order for a ray trace of pixels in a tile where the selection is based on a motion vector for the tile. The sampling order may be a bowtie pattern or an hourglass pattern. Subframes generated based on the sampling order are communicated over a bus along with motion vectors for tiles of the subframes.
