Overview

A frame buffer holds pixel data for the current frame being rendered. It acts as a temporary storage space between rendering calculations and screen output.

Function

Rendering systems write color, depth, and other information into buffers, which are then displayed once processing is complete.

Types

Common buffers include color buffers, depth buffers, and stencil buffers.

Professional Insight

Efficient buffer management improves rendering speed and prevents visual artifacts.
