You CAN Download More FPS...But Should You?

A program that recently pushed an update, Lossless scaling, that gives you a free FPS boost by using upscaling on an application level. This could be game changer for any gaming PC’s under $500, it’s literally free FPS!

The hidden gem of this program is the video scaling and frame gen. Works really well.

[KagatoAsuka]

Some of the actual GOOD usage cases for this program. Games that are locked at 60fps or 30fps (Lossless gives you that doubled FPS without breaking the physics of the game world or the need for installing mods), older games with a locked resolution, emulators, and handheld PCs.

The proper way to use frame-gen Imo is to cap your framerate at a stable fps first, then turn on frame gen. In my experience, capping a game at 30 fps will net me a very smooth 60, or 45 for 90. Very useful for massive skyrim modpacks.

The big trick with Lossless Scaling: Their newest 2x frame gen revision is miles more performant than 3x or 4x. That extra little bit of input lag is a pain, but there's really no way around that aside from minimizing it with a solid CPU.

For $7? Pretty damn sweet.

For games not requiring precise input or really fast camera movement, this software is godsend.

This is as crazy as downloading more ram

I bought that program in a desperate move to improve framerates on games where I struggle to go past 30fps. My friends on Discord have been playing Once Human PvE recently and I tried it without LS. Framerates were between 29-35fps at 1080p Very Low. I then capped the framerate to 30fps, turned down the resolution to 900p and enabled LS at 2x Performance Mode. This gave me a framerate between 58-60fps, which is smooth enough to play it. There was a minor input lag spike with this, but by using AMD's Radeon Anti-Lag it made it low enough that I can still be quite precise with my weapons.

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5600G (Wraith Stealth Cooler, stock base and boost clocks)
AMD Radeon RX570 4GB (Automatic OC of 1315MHz via AMD Adrenaline Software 24.7.1)

2TB TeamGroup T-Force Cardea PCIe 3.0 NVME SSD

A blind A and B test would have been nice

I bought lossless scaling back then when it didn't have the frame gen feature. It was a big surprise when it got updated to support it. It's amazing for games that don't have built in frame gen and games that have locked framerates. It makes the game so much smoother.

Lossless scaling uses GPU much more than cpu and can impact performance if your GPU is fully utilized like you can see on overwatch going from 30 to 20 fps. To avoid dropping base FPS, ensure your GPU has headroom when using lossless scaling.

[callmeJAF]

Don't enable performance mode unless on potato. It REALLY decreases the quality of the frame gen and causes artefacts. Also changing vsync option to "allow tearing" significantly reduces the input lag

[vangelis]

Lossless scaling is amazing. Ive been using it constantly after I thought I was just gonna dabble with it for a bit.

[WolvenSpectre]

Lossless Scaling is a Ukrainian Developed piece of software that was originally meant for retro gaming and emulation that would take those games running in a window and make them full screen, basically a digital versiono scalers that are bought and used for classic gaming consoles to be used on HDTVs. The thing is is as they started to add more features to it it became much more than that and you can use it on stuff other than retro games. Antoher use is for people with very high resolution monitors using software that the UI is now for ants.

Lossless Scaling has allot of uses and it is hard to think it is still expanding in what it can do and is still only $7

[frankshaw]

It works best on weaker systems if you just try and match the refresh rate of your monitor. So if your monitor runs at 144, you would set your in game frame rate at 72 - 1, so 71 fps, no more than that. You can always set it lower, like 60 and get to around 120 but the frame rate you chose needs to be a fairly consistent one. if it's bouncing around 30 to 60 fps after you set a lower resolution, you'll need to lower the set point of the in game frame rate.

[Overclocked_Caffe]

I use it for games that dont support FSR or DLSS. Framegen generally sucks. Best thing this software has is some type of V-sync, that's actually pretty good. I game on 1080p display and upscale from 1600 x 900 rez. Ghost recon Wildlands & Breakpoint games for example. That way I get lower GPU power consumption too, plus temps are much lower and GPU doesn't ramp fans to high RPM (quiet gaming), so I love this program. Give it a try.

As a user of this program, you do not need to use the applications in windowed mode, you can set a hotkey while LS runs in the background.

[hazetec]

that big bass bonanza music in the background at the beginning.. ty, now im gambling the slots again.

[adsr]

Try locking your FPS to your 1% low or slightly higher, THEN using frame Gen 2X with no scaling. Say a 3060 is running Farcry 5 at at 92fps at 1440p ultra and my 1% low is 60. Lock your FPS to 60 or 65, then use 2X to make it go to 110-120.

[TheAmazingBobl]

This program really shines while watching (old) movies. It makes the movies feel soo much sharper and smoother!

[sbryann]

It's also great for emulation/older games locked at either 30 or 60fps, you can double that pretty effectively, 30fps has some artifacting but 60fps to 120 with lossless scaling is super clean, makes gamecube games feel like PC games, especially with HD texture packs lol.
