This is the more most ultimatist guide to Lossless Scaling now :)

ONE step closer to downloading more Ram

[DanielClear]

Bad timing as LS just got a HUGE update.
TLDR:
- A feature to render fake frames at low resolution to increase base performance.
- LSFG 1.1 removed, as 2.3 has been tested to surpass 1.1 in performance anyway.

[POLARTTYRTM]

Who would guess we would live through a time where you can just download more FPS lol

[AFarCryAway]

Lossless Scaling made the Monster Hunter Wilds beta actually tolerable to play on my RTX 2060. Love it!

[jade]

Thought you're just over-reacting. Tried it, and will probably use it for every game now 🤣

[x_zmb_x]

Almost everytime I have tried lossless scaling there have been visual artifacts usually my character flickering invisible. So really it isn't lossless, when my characters losing his head haha

[Bucks]

I have been saying this and sticking with this statement. Once you've used it. You stop looking at other GPUs. Don't care if it's fake, it's good.

Brother there is a bot comment on top of all the comments, try keeping your community safe from these scams.

Edit: I think he removed the comment, good on him!

1990s: download more RAM!
2020s: download more FPS!

[kseries]

One of the most useful programs ever. I use it with Elden ring to hit 120 fps while still running Easy Anti Cheat. Also can be used with emulators with games that have a 30 fps cap.

Afmf2 doesnt turn itself off if u change the search mode to 'high'.
Afmf 2 is the best in quality and latency between fsr, lossless scaling.

Select searchmode 'high' and Quality mode.

2.12 Takes a small (but necessary) step further. Here is the gist from the developer:

"Introduced a new "Resolution Scale" option for LSFG. This feature allows input frames to be processed at a reduced resolution while generating output at the original resolution. For example, when playing at 1440p, setting the scale to 50% enables LSFG to generate 1440p output from a 720p input. This provides a performance boost with only a minor quality trade-off (depending on the game). Note that this is not related to image scaling; rather, it reduces the amount of information available to LSFG for motion estimation."

Also, if you're on Windows 24H2, it is now recommended for users to use "WGC" instead of "DXGI" now. This is because "Microsoft changed how the Desktop Duplication API (DXGI) functions, making it heavily reliant on MPO (Multiplane Overlay) support. Without MPO, DXGI cannot reliably distinguish between updates from game window and the LS window when both are displayed on the same monitor. This prevents it from capturing only new frames, thereby breaking the existing framepacing algorithm." Your experience may vary if your system has "MPO" enabled.

I used on Helldrivers 2 my gpu actually can reach 120+fps but this program just "lock" my fps to 120 solid fps and no drop at all. It just amazing

[gabrieli]

Lossless scaling works with dual GPUs, so if you have a configuration that supports the second GPU, you could buy something like a 5500 XT run the scaling off of that card. You need a card at least as powerful as the 6600 XT to comfortably do 4K scaling, but it removes the performance hit that you get from activating the frame generation. It is also much more difficult to run on Nvidia cards, and you'll find better results on low end AMD cards, even compared to higher-end Nvidia cards

As for cards capping out without setting VSync on, there is a limit to how many frames a card can push depending on how intense the scenario is.

Hi Vex,
Thanks so much for this review - great job as always!
Just a quick note: the framerate is capped because setting "Max latency" to 1 limits it to the monitor's refresh rate. It needs to be at least 2, preferably 3 (with 3 being the recommended setting for AMD GPUs), or you can use Sync mode OFF (Tearing) with VRR to avoid visible tearing.

Also, check out version 2.12 - it includes a "Resolution scaling" option that can really help lower-end GPUs.

[pietamojzesza]

I'm using this program for awhile now and it's great, you can even generate frames in videos, watching movies in 96fps instead of 24 is wild

[markosz]

The issue with latency is not just the added latency of the tool, but the inherently high latency of low base FPS. Base 30 fps is going to feel unresponsive no matter how good the frame generation is, but going from 60 to 120 feels okay.

[spectre_]

I have been using lossless scaling for a while now, and it's a lifesaver on my 1660 ti optiplex build. Its crazy getting 120fps on a 5 year old mid range budget gpu with a 7 year old cpu.
