Abstract
A primitive that triggers performance of a graphics operation for the entirety of a tile is included in the sequence of primitives for a sequence of rendering tiles being provided to subsequent stages of the graphics processing pipeline for processing at least one tile in advance of the tile to which the primitive that is to trigger a graphics processing operation for the entirety of the tile relates. If, subsequent to the starting of the processing of the primitive that performs a processing operation for the entirety of the tile, it is determined that no other primitives will be processed for the tile, at least one of the subsequent processing stages of the graphics processing pipeline is caused to stop performing processing in respect of the primitive that performs a processing operation for the entirety of the tile.
