Zusammenfassung:A method of operating a graphics processor that executes a graphics processing pipeline that includes an early culling tester that can access plural different culling test data buffers is disclosed. Information is maintained indicating which of the plural culling test data buffers is expected to be accessed, and the information is used to control the early culling tester. The information may be used to control the early culling tester such that processing delays associated with waiting for dependencies to resolve are reduced.
