Lossless Scaling Reviews

It’s such an amazing and versatile tool. Personally, I find it best to use for retro games and those that have frame-rate caps. Using it with DuckStation feels like playing remasters of your favorite games.

Download FPS, smoothness even better than native game settings optimization.

Used to feel like more of a proof of concept, it was cool that you could literally download a software that doubles your framerate but it had a LOT of visual bugs and added latency. Now... its good enough that I actually use it.

Lossless Scaling has been that one particular tool for me that I didn't know I needed it until I've used it. This tool is almost magical, even achieved MFG like feature earlier than Nvidia ever could, although at the cost of minor artifacts. hands down 11/10.

REALLY nice. dont try to use it on competitive games or anything, but for watching youtube? for playing slower paced games? amazing. (coming from a 2k240hz OLED monitor user)

This app is great, especially if you use emulators stuck in 30 fps. The new LSFG 3 update has fixed most of the visual glitches on moving characters and reduced input delay by a lot. If you didn't like 2.3 LSFG give 3 a try!

The fact that, with the correct configurations, Lossless Scaling can outperform AAA FSR and DLSS implementations for current gen Games in performance, visuals and frame generation, is absolutely absurd. There's almost always a set of configurations for your hardware capabilities, that will produce a better output than whatever the game developers decided to be the one available implementation.

It is completely useful and works very well. Definitely recommend it even if you have high end pc.

I tried this a few months ago when it was version 2 and refunded it as I wasn't impressed with the output quality and input lag. After seeing all the praise for the new version 3 I bought it again and am really impressed with it. I wouldn't necessarily use it for fast action shooters as it does increase input lag (though a lot less than version 2), but for other games I play like flight sims and colony sims it does a great job of doubling, tripling or even quadrupling my frame rate. Aside from it helping with framerate, it means my GPU can be playing games with lower power draw so over time it will pay for itself with electricity saving.

This app is great when used properly, following the developer's instructions and the practical experiences of users. It is especially useful for those who do not have the most recent video cards with proprietary Upscale and FrameGen technologies, but also not so old, since your system needs to deliver a stable framerate in games to work satisfactorily. Since I bought it, I have used in all single-player games. To open it without needing Steam, just go to the source folder, create a shortcut from executable and send to desktop or pin on Start menu. On my 1080p 144hz monitor, i use FG X2 with 72FPS locked to reach 144FPS. Upscaling OFF. Below i show how i use it to play on a 4K TV, minimizing imperfections and defects as much as possible, at least this way they are unnoticed to me: -Game in Windowed borderless -1440p~1800p internal resolution -Scaling mode 'Auto', 'Aspect Ratio'. Scaling Type LS1 '1'. -FrameGen Mode 'X2'. Framerate limit on RivaTuner for me bare min '45' but would be better to always try aiming at least stable '60'. *I completed 100% Jedi Survivor on EA App playing this way(locked 45FPS with FG X2 enabled to reach 90). *You need a reasonable FPS base before turning on FrameGen, so as not to harm much both image quality and input lag. Higher the better. -After apply 'Scale', ideally your video card should be at a maximum of 90% usage, as this leaves some room for any frame variations that may occur. -At the framerate I'm aiming(120), FG X2 is enough and doesn't cause much obvious image imperfections. However, I know some with higher than 144hz display who say FG X3 has improved a lot, causing much less artifacts, again if you already have a good base FPS 60-80. -Despite clickbaits, this app doesn't magically turn very old systems into latest release Nvidia cards. If you have a low base framerate like i've seen before people using 20FPS, the image quality will be awful with a lot of ghosting, artifacts and the input lag will be terrible, impossible to play even with controller. -If you have eyes used to high quality OLED displays, 360hz+, is too sensible about input latency and have very high standards, probably this app won't be good for you. All things considered, the gaming experience using this app has been positive.
