Decouple multi-layer render fequency
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that partitions a three-dimensional (3D) scene into a plurality of layers including at least a foreground layer and a background layer. Additionally, the foreground layer may be rendered at a first rate and the background layer may be rendered at a second frame rate, wherein the first frame rate is greater than the second frame rate. In one example, the foreground layer and the background layer are composited into a frame.
