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: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a processor performs a coarse depth test on pixel data, and performs a final depth test on the pixel data. Coarse depth data is stored in a coarse depth cache, and per pixel depth data is stored in a per pixel depth cache. If a result of the coarse depth test is ambiguous, the processor is to read the per pixel depth data from the per pixel depth cache, and to update the coarse depth data with the per pixel depth data if the per pixel depth data has a smaller depth range than the coarse depth data.
