When direct3d renders a scene to a target surface, it can use the memory in an associated depth buffer surface as a workspace to determine how the pixels of rasterized polygons occlude one another. Because these polygons lie on the same plane, they share the same z buffer values, and this can result in z fighting issues, where results vary based on rendering order. Sap visual enterprise author display renderer modes sap. In the past, directx allowed developers to resolve z fighting issues by applying a z bias to coplanar polygons.

Direct3d 11 hello triangle antons graphics tutorials. In a 3drendering engine, when an object is projected on the screen, the depth z value of a generated pixel in the projected screen image is stored in a buffer the z buffer or depth buffer. Trace the tick marks horizontally to where they hit the 1 z curve, then down to the bottom axis. The z buffer value is the picked points screen space z coordinate.
When more than one pixel take up the same location the depth values are then used to determine which pixel to keep. As a result, shaders relying on the z buffer like mxao, dof, reflective bumpmapping etc. In the meantime, this great article from shawn hargreaves blog gives lots of useful intel about rendertarget, depthbuffer, and related stuff the above examples of renderer suffer from the depth buffer precision explained here for example, where 50% of precision is located in the nearplane, nearplane 2 range, which is very very bad, as for a np 0.
