ABSTRACT:
A graphics processing apparatus2includes graphics processing pipelines8. The graphics processing pipelines8include a programmable hardware stage12, a pipeline memory22and writeback circuitry16. Programmable resolving circuitry18is provided by the programmable hardware stage12within each pipeline and is responsive to one or more graphics program instructions to read pixel values at a first resolution generated within the pipeline memory22by pixel value generating circuitry18provided by the programmable hardware stage12and to perform a resolving operation upon these pixels values so as to generate pixel values at a second resolution. These pixel values at the second resolution are then written back to a frame buffer memory6.
