Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-storage media for target independent rasterization of an image. The target is the memory allocated for a rendered image within a graphics pipeline. Embodiments of the present invention allow the rasterization process's sampling rate to be specified independently from the memory allocated for the rendered image. Embodiments of the present invention also allow the rasterization process to be executed at a rate that does not correspond to the memory allocated for the rendered target.
