Zusammenfassung:Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for graphics processing of a vertex buffer using a relative index buffer are disclosed. Example methods to process a vertex buffer disclosed herein include accessing a first relative index stored in a relative index buffer, the first relative index specifying an offset from a current index selecting a first entry of the vertex buffer. Such disclosed example methods also include, in response to the first relative index being a nonzero value, processing data associated with a second entry of the vertex buffer to determine a rasterizer output associated with the first entry of the vertex buffer, the second entry of the vertex buffer being selected using the current index offset by the first relative index.
