Abstract
A graphic processing circuit with binning rendering and associated pre-depth processing method is provided. Firstly, a first depth data of a first primitive corresponding to a specified tile is received. Then, the pre-depth data corresponding to the specified tile is read from a pre-Z buffer. If the first depth data is not larger than the pre-depth data and the first primitive is an opaque primitive, the pre-depth data is updated with the first depth data. If the first depth data is not larger than the pre-depth data and the first primitive is a translucent primitive, an uncertainty ordering range is defined according to the first depth data and the pre-depth data, and the pre-depth data is updated with the uncertainty ordering range.
