Summary:A system and method for controlling graphics rendering pipelines. The pipeline is unstalled in response to a display interval complete signal which allows pipeline processing to proceed even at the beginning of a tolerance interval. A stall controller unstalls processing of the graphics data in the graphics rendering pipeline when a display interval complete signal has been generated. A stall token installer inserts stall tokens in between frames of the graphics data. A queue stores frame complete markers in an order matching the order of stall tokens inserted in between frames of graphics data.
