Abstract
A processor dynamically selects a render mode for each render pass of a frame based on the characteristics of the render pass. A software driver of the processor receives graphics operations from an application executing at the processor and converts the graphics operations into a command stream that is provided to the graphics pipeline. As the driver converts the graphics operations into the command stream, the driver analyzes each render pass of the frame to determine characteristics of the render passes, and selects a render mode for each render pass based on the characteristics of the render pass.
