Abstract
In a raster stage of a graphics processor, a method for tile based precision rasterization. The method includes receiving a graphics primitive for rasterization in a raster stage of a graphics processor and rasterizing the graphics primitive at a first level precision to generate a plurality of tiles of pixels. The tiles are then rasterized at a second level precision to generate covered pixels. The covered pixels are then output for rendering operations in a subsequent stage of the graphics processor.
