Provided are methods for managing texture data in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The methods include receiving, into an arbiter, a preload request configured to request processing of texture data in advance of shader processing and receiving, into the arbiter, a dependent read request configured to request processing of texture data after shader processing. The methods also include receiving, into the arbiter, a capacity signal from a texture buffer and determining, utilizing the virtual buffer capacity signal, a selected request corresponding which of the preload request and the dependent read request is granted. The methods further include processing, in a texture processor, texture data corresponding to the selected request.
