A method is disclosed for receiving a synchronization signal from a display circuit configured to display a series of frames, each frame comprising a plurality of tiles of pixels, determining, based on the received synchronization signal, that the display circuit has consumed data corresponding to one or more tiles of a frame, identifying a predetermined number of tiles that are subsequent to the one or more tiles consumed by the display circuit based on the synchronization signal, determining that one or more tiles of the identified tiles require an update, selectively rendering the determined tiles, and transmitting the rendered tiles to the display circuit.
