Abstract
A graphics processor comprising a rasteriser, a renderer, and a fragment dependency manager, and a method of operating a graphics processor. The fragment dependency manager is operable to maintain plural queues, where each queue corresponds to a respective set of plural sets of one or more sampling points that an array of sampling points is divided into, and wherein each queue entry is indicative of one or more fragments that when processed by the renderer will produce rendered fragment data for one or more of the sampling points of the set of one or more sampling points to which the queue corresponds.
