Systems and methods for conservation of bandwidth and improved user experience via enhanced streaming of video games. An example method includes receiving a request to remotely play a video game, the video game being executed by the system and streamed to a user device for presentation. The video game is executed, and rendered image frames are generated. Geometry data associated with the rendered image frames is generated, with the geometry data representing locations of geometric elements that form geometry utilized, by the video game, to generate the rendered image frames. The rendered image frames are encoded into a gameplay stream. A first stream comprising the encoded gameplay stream and a second stream comprising the geometry data are provided to the user device. The user device is configured to perform post-processing effects on the rendered image frames encoded in the gameplay stream prior to display on the user device.
