Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for separating 3D content from 2D UI content for selectively upscaling 3D draw calls. A controller, coupled to a graphics pipeline, determines whether an application supports upscaling and, if so, creates a full-resolution framebuffer for rendering 2D drawcalls bound to the graphics pipeline and a reduced-resolution framebuffer for rendering 3D drawcalls bound to the graphics pipeline. A drawcall is then determined to be a 2D or a 3D drawcall. The controller stores the drawcall in the full-resolution framebuffer if the draw call is a 2D drawcall and stores the drawcall in the reduced-resolution framebuffer if the draw call is a 3D drawcall. The draw stored in the reduced-resolution framebuffer is upscaled to be a full-resolution drawcall, and the 2D draw in the full-resolution framebuffer and the upscaled 3D draw are combined to form a final output.
