Estimating the term…
A graphics processing apparatus and method of performing graphics processing are provided. The graphics processing apparatus comprises a sequence of processing stages capable of performing graphics processing to generate a frame of display data. The graphics processing is performed on a tile-by-tile basis. The graphics processing apparatus is capable of determining if a current tile subject to the graphics processing is empty. At least one processing stage of the sequence of processing stages is omitted for graphics processing of the current tile in dependence on whether the current tile is empty.
Graphics processing apparatus comprising:
The graphics processing apparatus as claimed in claim wherein the graphics processing apparatus is capable of causing the at least one processing stage of the sequence of processing stages to be carried out for graphics processing of the current tile if the current tile is empty and the display parameter of a corresponding tile of the previous frame at the same display position as the current tile does not have the predetermined value.
A method of graphics processing comprising:
