Abstract: A processing system reduces latency and improves predictability of a scan out position to support graphics processing unit (GPU) front buffer rendering with a variable refresh rate (VRR) display. The GPU detects whether front buffer rendering such as inking is occurring on a frame-by-frame basis. In order to maintain a safe distance from the current scan out position and achieve low latency to improve the user experience, the GPU increases the refresh rate of the VRR display to a low-latency (high-frequency) fixed refresh rate in response to detecting front buffer rendering. In some embodiments, the GPU decreases the refresh rate in response to detecting a static screen to save power.
