Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that determines a stencil value and uses the stencil value to control, via a stencil buffer, a coarse pixel size of a graphics pipeline. Additionally, the stencil value may include a first range of bits defining a first dimension of the coarse pixel size and a second range of bits defining a second dimension of the coarse pixel size. In one example, the coarse pixel size is controlled for a plurality of pixels on a per pixel basis.
