Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for anti-aliasing. During a first processing pass of a plurality of graphics primitives, z data is computed for multiple samples of each pixel in an image to generate a multi-sample z buffer. During a second processing pass of the graphics primitives, computed color values corresponding to each pixel in a color buffer that stores one color value for each pixel are accumulated.
