Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a frame rate of video content, sets a blend amount parameter based on the frame rate, and temporally anti-aliases the video content based on the blend amount parameter. Additionally, the technology may detect a coarse pixel (CP) shading condition with respect to one or more frames in the video content and select, in response to the CP shading condition, a per frame jitter pattern that jitters across pixels, wherein the video content is temporally anti-aliased based on the per frame jitter pattern. The CP shading condition may also cause the technology to apply a gradient to a plurality of color planes on a per color plane basis and discard pixel level samples associated with a CP if all mip data corresponding to the CP is transparent or shadowed out.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a given frame or picture may have different shading rates. In one embodiment in some areas of the frame or picture the shading rate may be less than once per pixel and in other places it may be once per pixel. Examples where the shading rate may be reduced include areas where there is motion and camera defocus, areas of peripheral blur, and in general, any case where the visibility is reduced anyway. The shading rate may be changed in a region, such as a shading quad, by changing the size of the region.
