A multi-mode parallel graphics rendering and display system supporting real-time detection of scene profile indices programmed within pre-profiled scenes of the graphics-based application. The system includes a multi-mode parallel graphics rendering subsystem (MMPGRS) having multiple graphics processing pipelines (GPPLs) and supporting multiple modes of parallel operation selected from the group consisting of object division, image division, and time division. The GPPLs support a parallel graphics rendering process that employs one or more of the object division, image division and/or time division modes of parallel operation in order to execute graphic commands and process graphics data, and render pixel-composited images containing graphics for display on a display device during the run-time of the graphics-based application. During run-time, an automatic mode controller automatically detects the scene profile indices and uses the detected scene profile indices to access corresponding mode control parameters (MCPs) from an application/scene profile database so as to determine how to dynamically control the modes of parallel operation of the MMPGRS to optimize system performance.
