ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention relate to graphics rendering in which Z-buffering tests are performed at the front of the rendering pipeline. Particularly, Z-buffering test logic at the front of the rendering pipeline is coupled to a render cache memory, which includes a Z-buffer, such that Z-buffering can be accomplished at the front of the rendering pipeline.
