Abstract

A system and method processes graphics data for remote display. A graphics processing system including a plurality of graphics processing devices is coupled to a host system that includes a host graphics processor and a display device that is remote relative to the graphics processing system. Graphics processing performance may be scaled by distributing processing between the plurality of graphics processing devices and the host graphics processor such that each of the plurality of graphics processing devices and the host graphics processor produces a portion of an image. The portions are combined to produce the image, which is output by the host graphics processor to the display device.
