Lossless Scaling Reviews

In times where almost every game performs like shit, this software is a blessing! Thank You THS! This little duck saved my RTX 3060Ti and I'm running everything at 2k 155hz. Totally recommended!

Thanks LinusMediaGroup for helping this developer get richer, it works well. If I could offer a tip to people using it for FPS. I played around with it and I think I found the principle concept to get it to work well, the rest is up to you. 1. alt+r and view GPU usage (for NVIDIA), but find a way to look at GPU usage 2. In your desired game or video, have it to where the GPU usage is low 60% or lower 3. To do so and this is needed, set an FPS cap in the game, like 30 or 60 (higher for looking around a lot) 4. One achieved go and select LSFG 3.1, mode: Adaptive, target: as high as your hz is 4a. Set the flowscale as high as you can go without stressing the gpu usage 4b. I also like using performance and the adaptive mode will help a lot 5. Set capture to DXGI and queue target 0, lowest latency, adjust if needed. Use VSYNC seems to not do much to GPU utilization ?. Second GPU is apparently really good haven't done it yet as of writing this review, but use it if you can, main GPU for core frame structure, side GPU for flow scale frames, a return to SLI but not needing matching GPUS? ;) Haha. I assume it helps with latency, games can sometimes have a feel depending like you're streaming on discord or something, so I assume it helps with that. That's basically it, the key is GPU usage low to start off by capping FPS, you can figure out the rest but this seems best. I find this to be extremely powerful in sims like ATS or whatever else, as new information coming in is centered in the screen and goes out, the algo seems to like this, I can get 144 FPS while getting only 30 FPS in residential areas. This doesn't seem good for RTS games and such looking around birds eye. Just play around you'll see what I mean. I was discouraged at first as I didn't realize all this, but this seems to be the crux. You can also do a lot of cool stuff with video and such depending. I like FSR and high sharpness or playing around with it. Hope this helps people,

This is an outstanding program. Im thrilled I can run it on linux now! My steam deck feels like the steam deck 2 with all the extra frames im getting now. Thank you for all who made this possible. Seriously incredible :)

Lossless Scaling – My Thoughts I recently tried out Lossless Scaling, and honestly, it works way better than I expected. It gave me a big boost in FPS in some of the games I tested. While it's not perfect and could use some improvements, it’s still an awesome tool - especially for the low price. One thing to note: it doesn’t work well with older graphics cards. I tested it on a GTX 770, and the performance wasn’t great. It’s probably due to driver issues or lack of support for newer features. I imagine older AMD cards would have the same problem. (Still, the GTX 770 is a classic card and a legend) Even though I have a decent PC, I still use Lossless Scaling because I know newer games will get more demanding. My system runs games well, but I like using this tool to get even smoother gameplay and generally because of the fact that my computer is considered a mid-range pc. My PC Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: B450 Aorus ELITE V2 (Gigabyte) RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 @ 3200MHz GPU: ASUS Dual RTX 2060 6GB OC Storage: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB + 3 other drives Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL 80+ Gold Case: NZXT H5 Flow ^do feel free to rate^ Games I Tested: Resident Evil 4 Remake Without Lossless Scaling (max settings): 30–40 FPS With Lossless Scaling (max settings): 50–80 FPS Sons of the Forest Without Lossless Scaling (max settings): 50–60 FPS (sometimes drops to the 40s) With Lossless Scaling (max settings): 100–120 FPS — super smooth A Few Warnings: Not recommended for fast-paced games like Call of Duty: Warzone for example. May not work well with very old GPUs or computers in general. Final Thoughts: Lossless Scaling is an amazing piece of software for anyone looking to get better performance without upgrading their hardware. It works great in many games and is super cheap for what it does. If you have a mid-range PC like mine, this tool can make a big difference in how your games run.

Tired of shitty optimisation in modern games? Want to play a game but GPU manufacturers demand you pay 3000 dollars for their mid GPU? Fed up from gimmicks promising magic 100000% performance gains compared to previous generations of GPUs? Feel like lately every game looks blurry, extra blurry, and a little more blurry? Download FPS now! wait? We're being serious? It makes your game feel like you're playing through a dream, input lag is noticeable on MP games but for the unoptimized slop that is modern games this works like a charm

it trades input delay for fps. and also if you go crazy with it it gets a bit weird but its an amazing program.

It is much more enjoyable. Especially some games are faking 60fps, they actually lower fps than what it show. And no worry about breaking physic, it doesn't happen. * It takes more resources trying to use it, making performance on games a little worse. ➜ Depend on how old is your PC specs, and some game doesn't fully work, especially some game engines block or ignore LS overlays * Would a user trigger anti-cheat systems in an online game? ➜ Users consistently report it does not alter game files or memory, it just modifies the output resolution, not the game's internal rendering, so it's unlikely to cause bans in online games. Some note that uncommon or poorly coded anti-cheat systems might flag any overlay or capture tool, but no confirmed bans to date. * Does it increase GPU or CPU temperature and cause overheat? ➜ it depends on the settings you use. The range is adding between 5-15°C. And there are still a few method to reduce temperature impact. For me some game adds 1-2°C on my GPU * The "Windowed mode" has been removed and causing annoying alt-tabbing delays with horrible black borders ➜ True, this will only trouble for who using window mode gaming * This app can save our money for upgrading our PC hardware ➜ Agree [h1] 😄 MY LIKES[/h1] * User friendly interface * Many option in setting * Works for many games * Works on mp4 video files [h1] 🙁 MY DISLIKES [/h1] * Window mode gaming will force into fullscreen mode * The icon design not great [h1] EXTRA INFO:[/h1] Approximate File Size = 0.173 GB Check concurrent number of player = https://steamcharts.com/app/993090/ Check price history = https://steamdb.info/app/993090/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/ [quote] [b]Remember to 👍 for me if you liked this review:[/b] 🔔 More similar reviews ➜ [u][url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31940448-Expectation-Checklist/]Browse Here[/url][/u] and follow this Curator, or 🤝 Visit Our Gaming Discussion ➜ [u] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/expectationchecklist]We're Here[/url][/u] 📢 Disclaimer regarding Short Hours & English Errors ➜ [u][url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/expectationchecklist/discussions/0/4594180031254224809/]Read Here[/url][/u] [/quote]

I am using it for playing Switch games on 60 fps. It's a bliss, with a single button push you get a nicer picture and almost stable 60 fps. Must have for emulators.

Using this on my Steam Deck. Thank you for your co-operation with Pancake. Please continue supporting this for Linux, even if it's unofficial.

i've bought this only because [url=https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk]frame generation works on linux now[/url], and pretty well too, even on wayland. 4 dollars or 8 dollars, it's absolutely worth the asking price [i]if[/i] you manage your expectations. you get more useful features on windows as well as upscaling options, but they feel rather useless when you already have free solutions like magpie or gamescope that are just as good, if not better best use case is for emulators and games capped at 30/60fps to run those at a higher refresh rate without breaking their physics or any other logic tied to framerate. also helps serve as a crutch/band-aid for squeezing more performance out of newer games, but results can vary. also works with media players if you're a psychopath and like the soap opera effect this is NOT a magic solution like people make it out to be simply because the [b]extra added frame of input lag[/b] and [b]visual artifacting[/b] can be a dealbreaker for some people. these are barely noticeable if you stick to a 2x multiplier, but going higher will make those issues much more obvious. LSFG works okay at 30fps, sweet spot is 60-72fps. it also introduces considerable GPU overhead so base performance will actually end up being worse if your GPU is already running at full load or you have a bad PC
