Priority-based graphics rendering for multi-part systems

In an embodiment, a method involves receiving a viewpoint from a headset, receiving, from applications, assets to be rendered using the viewpoint, determining, for each of the assets, a priority score, identifying, based on the determined priority scores, a first subset and a second subset of the assets, instructing a GPU to render, within a first GPU frame, a first superframe using the first subset, enqueuing the first superframe for transmission to the headset with a first priority and at a first pre-scheduled time, instructing the GPU to render, within a second GPU frame, a second superframe using the second subset, and enqueuing the second superframe for transmission to the headset with a second priority lower than the first priority and at a second pre-scheduled time, wherein the GPU has a GPU framerate faster than a pre-scheduled timing interval for transmitting data from the computing system to the headset.
