Abstract: In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques allow for client-side upscaling of streamed video games. For example, a server executes a video game and renders frames thereof using a graphics processing unit (GPU) of the server. The frames are rendered at a low resolution. The server extracts layers of information needed to upscale the rendered frames from one or more buffers in the GPU. The layers of information can include color data, depth data, motion vector data, state data, and one or more sharpening factors. The server encodes the rendered frames and the layers of information. The server streams, over a network, the encoded frame data and the encoded layers of information to a user device. The user device can decode and upscale the frame using the layers of information, and then display the upscaled frame. The upscaled frame is of a higher resolution than the rendered frame.
