Original Abstract Submitted
As part of rendering a scene including at least one graphics object in a display space, the display space is divided into a plurality of tiles. A determination is made that contents of at least two of the plurality of tiles are no longer used after a current render pass. A write back memory address associated with a second tile is changed to match a write back memory address associated with a first tile. As a result, data is overwritten on a same physical page.
