Embodiments are generally directed to methods and apparatuses for buffer sharing. An embodiment of a method comprises: receiving a plurality of graphics data comprising a first graphics data, each of the plurality of graphics data mapped to a corresponding buffer in a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) memory, wherein the first graphics data is mapped to a first buffer in the GPU memory; receiving a second graphics data mapped to a second buffer in the GPU memory; comparing the first buffer mapped by the first graphics data with the second buffer mapped by the second graphics data; and remapping the second graphics data to the first buffer if the first buffer is identical with the second buffer.
