Transforms and lights vertex data in 3D space, preparing it for the next stages of the pipeline.

Assembles vertices into geometric primitives such as points, lines, or triangles for further processing.

Converts the geometric primitives into fragments, which are potential pixels on the screen.

Determines the color and other attributes of each fragment. Can perform complex per-pixel operations.

Performs tests to determine if a fragment is visible and should be drawn to the framebuffer.

Combines the fragment's color with the color of the corresponding pixel in the framebuffer based on certain rules.

The final stage where the processed fragments are actually written into the framebuffer and displayed on the screen.

This optional stage subdivides primitives into smaller ones to increase geometric detail.

An optional stage that allows for geometry to be generated or altered on-the-fly, between vertex processing and rasterization.
