1. A method of graphics processing, comprising:
determining a respective visibility of primitives associated with each of a set of bins, each of the set of bins representing at least a respective portion of a target;
determining, for each of the set of bins, a respective rendering pass type from a plurality of rendering pass types based on the respective visibility of primitives, the plurality of rendering pass types comprising a first rendering pass type associated with rendering a bin into graphics memory (GMEM) and a second rendering pass type associated with refraining from rendering a bin into the GMEM; and
rendering the target based on the respective rendering pass type determined for each of the set of bins.
