1. An apparatus comprising: min-axis based mip map level determination logic operative to select, for a texture fetch, a mip map level from a plurality of mip map levels, wherein the selected mip map level is based solely on a min-axis value without using a max-axis value and without using any amount of anisotropy, and wherein the min-axis value is based on a plurality of texture space derivatives with respect to screen space; and texture addressing logic operative to fetch texture data including a plurality of texels from memory in response to the selected mip map level based on the min-axis value; wherein each one of the plurality of texels maps to no more than one pixel.
