Original Abstract Submitted
A method of rendering a scene formed by primitives in a graphics processing system. For a sequence of primitives, a pipeline fragment shading rate value and a primitive fragment shading rate value for a primitive are combined to produce a combined fragment shading rate value for the primitive. Fragment shading rate data representing the combined fragment shading rate value for the primitive is stored and data identifying the primitive is associated with the fragment shading rate data. For a subsequent primitive, it is determined whether or not a combined fragment shading rate value for the subsequent primitive is the same as for the preceding primitive. If it is the same, data identifying the subsequent primitive is associated with the fragment shading rate data that the data identifying the preceding primitive is associated with. If it is not the same, further fragment shading rate data representing the combined fragment shading rate value for the subsequent primitive is stored and data identifying the subsequent primitive is associated with the further fragment shading rate data.
