  • Graphics pipeline selectively providing multiple pixels or multiple textures
    Patent number: 6628290
    Abstract: A method and graphics accelerator apparatus for pipelined generation of output values for a sequence of pixels, with generation of output values for each of at least two textured pixels during each pipeline clock interval. The apparatus includes a combiner stage capable of producing output values during each clock interval of the pipeline, wherein the output values are indicative of a blend of a plurality of textures with a single pixel when the combiner stage operates in a first mode, and the output values are indicative of a blend of an individual texture with two pixels when the combiner stage operates in a second mode.
