1. A method, comprising:
deferring shading of a set of primitives prior to a primitive assembly stage of a graphics processing pipeline by discarding, prior to the primitive assembly stage of the graphics processing pipeline, a non-degenerate primitive of the set of primitives that does not contribute to a rendered image, wherein the primitive assembly stage is configured to set up one or more primitives based on a plurality of vertices;
generating, based on the discarding of the non-degenerate primitive, a set of surviving primitives; and in response to generating the set of surviving primitives, computing, at the graphics processing pipeline, a deferred parameter of the set of surviving primitives.
