A rasterizer stage configured to implement multiple interpolators for graphics pipeline. The rasterizer stage includes a plurality of simultaneously operable low precision interpolators for computing a first set of pixel parameters for pixels of a geometric primitive and a plurality of simultaneously operable high precision interpolators for computing a second set of pixel parameters for pixels of the geometric primitive. The rasterizer stage also includes an output mechanism coupled to the interpolators for routing computed pixel parameters into a memory array. Parameters may be programmably assigned to the interpolators and the results thereof may be programmably assigned to portions of a pixel packet.
