Description

This extension enables applications to use multisampled rendering with a depth/stencil sample count that is larger than the color sample count. Having a depth/stencil sample count larger than the color sample count allows maintaining geometry and coverage information at a higher sample rate than color information. All samples are depth/stencil tested, but only the first color sample count number of samples get a corresponding color output.
