Abstract: Operating a graphics processing pipeline that includes processing stages including a rasteriser that rasterises input primitives to generate graphics fragments to be processed, each graphics fragment having one or more sampling points associated with it, and a renderer that processes fragments generated by the rasteriser to generate output fragment data for output to a render output, comprising the following steps: (i) determining first information to test whether at least a part of a primitive should be processed further; (ii) using at least some of the first information to decide whether to process at least a part of the primitive further; and if it is decided that at least a part of the primitive is to be processed further: (iii) determining further information to be used in further processing of the primitive; and (iv) further processing at least a part of the primitive using the determined further information.
