In this paper, we propose an efficient block based z-buffer. The block based z-buffer uses a block unit and a block depth buffer. It can greatly reduce the amount of data transfer between scan conversion and z-buffer. Test results show that the block based z-buffer can reduce the data traffic upto 87.5%.
