ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure provides embodiments of guard band clipping systems and methods. One guard band clipping system embodiment, among others, includes a vertex processor configured to convert transformed vertex data to integer screen space data and pass the transformed vertex data downstream in a graphics hardware pipeline, and a guard band clipping module coupled to the vertex processor and a guard band arithmetic logic unit coupled to the guard band clipping module, the guard band clipping module configured to determine whether a primitive corresponding to the transformed vertex data is to be clipped and, based on that determination, forward the primitive to the guard band arithmetic logic unit to perform guard band clipping.
