Abstract
A device includes a controller that is operative to dynamically control rendering quality of an output image when the device is in a reduced power mode based on data representing a desired runtime length of an application. Memory containing data representing quality of rendering control information may be utilized by the controller to control graphics processing circuitry to change a quality of graphics rendering based on the quality of rendering control information. The quality of control information may include, by way of example, and not limitation, data representing a number of vertices per object to use for rendering objects, a texture size to use per frame, a degree or type of anti-aliasing to employ, whether to use alpha blending, a tessellation level to employ, and playback frame rate information. A user interface may be employed that provides a selectable desired application runtime duration setting that is used when the device or portion of the device is in a low power mode. The controller uses the quality of rendering control information to dynamically control the rendering quality based on the selected desired application runtime duration set through the user interface.
