Absolute Magic This review is long overdue, and I owe it to the developers of Lossless Scaling to finally share my thoughts. I’ve never reviewed software before, but for a program this amazing, and at such a low price, it feels right to do so. The standout feature of Lossless Scaling is its frame generation. Since I started using the program in May, I’ve spent nearly 300 hours with it, and the frame generation is what makes this software truly special. It has completely changed how I experience games, and I know I’ll be using it for thousands of hours more. The frame generation in Lossless Scaling is incredible. In a time when many games aren’t well-optimized, this feature helps smooth out performance in ways I didn’t think were possible. I’ve been able to enjoy modern games at 144 FPS without losing visual quality, all thanks to this program. What’s even more amazing is that it works with every single game out there. It’s like magic! No matter what game I’m playing, Lossless Scaling steps in and makes it run 144 FPS or more, depending on your monitor's refresh rate. The frame generation feature doesn’t just add more frames; it improves the entire gaming experience. However, I do need to add a word of caution. I don’t recommend using Lossless Scaling in online games since the game might recognize it as third-party cheat software, which could lead to a ban. That said, I took the risk and tried it in The Finals, a game I used to play at 50-70 FPS. Now, I’m playing it smoothly at 144 FPS, and the difference is unbelievable. Despite what some people claim, there’s no input lag, and I haven’t encountered any graphical errors. It’s just pure, smooth gameplay. I’ve never felt so strongly about a piece of software, but Lossless Scaling deserves all the praise it gets and more. If you’re serious about PC gaming and frustrated with poorly optimized games, this is the program you need. Whether you have a high-end PC or a low-end one, get this software! And the best part? It does all this for a price that’s almost too good to be true. I can’t recommend Lossless Scaling enough.

Check Your VRAM Temperature While Running This App! This application works perfectly fine, but please note that it may cause overheating of your graphics card's memory on certain models. I own a triple-fan 3070 Ti, and the maximum video RAM temperatures I've observed are around 86°C. By using Lossless Scaling, I've noticed that VRAM temperatures can rise to 97°C during gameplay. You might want to consider downclocking your VRAM when using this app to prevent potential damage to thermal pads or VRAM degradation. Apart from these considerations, PERFECT piece of software!

Edit: Updated entire review to be more instructional and informative. Before you buy it, you should know that "minimum" requirements are for "upscaling" feature only. Although there is no official requirements for "frame generation" feature, you should at least meet the GPU specs under "recommended" for frame generation to work without issues. These specs are currently on par with gtx1060 and rx580. You can still attempt to use frame generation on older GPUs by following the troubleshooting section below. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRAMEGEN After you buy it you need to follow 3 steps before enabling Lossless Scaling Frame Generation (LSFG) properly. 1 ➜ You need to set your game to windowed or borderless windowed mode. 2 ➜ You need to limit your frame rate with a third party app or if you have it, through in-game fps limiter. LSFG works best if you limit your frame rate to half, 1/3 or 1/4 of your monitor's max refresh rate. The frame rate limit should be 20-30% below your usual in-game frame rates. It should be a stable frame rate, meaning you shouldn't see frame rate drops. I recommend monitoring this at a low fps area. ➽ I recommend using Riva Tuner Statistics Server as frame rate limiter. You can create profiles for different games on the app for different limits. 3 ➜ You need to disable all other overlays. This includes G-sync but also include other overlays such as Geforce Experience Highlights, AMD Instant Replay etc. Once you are done all you need to do is to press ALT+CTRL+S while on the game screen. TROUBLESHOOTING ➠ If you see an immediate fps drop when you enable LSFG, this most likely means that your GPU isn't powerful enough to run both LSFG and the game together. ➠ If you meet the recommended specs or close to these specs but still not getting exactly 2x or 3x frame rates, follow the steps below. The order of steps is to make sure you retain best visual quality. 1➽ Check your GPU load on task manager (Performance Tab > GPU) or HWiNFO to see the % load. 2➽ If it is above 95%, try "enabling performance mode" and start lowering your fps limit in increments of 5 until you reach at least 60% GPU use while in-game. Keep LSFG enabled to monitor the difference. 3➽ If you are still having issues, try lowering in-game graphics settings to lower GPU usage. 4➽ If the above doesn't help, try lowering in-game resolution to lower GPU load further. You can compensate for this by using the upscaling feature "Auto" setting. If "Auto" doesn't work for you, you can switch to "Custom". If you are unsure what "scaling factor" you should be using, you can ask ChatGPT "What is the scaling factor from (your in-game resolution) to (your display's max resolution)?" 5➽ If none of these help, it means your GPU is not powerful enough to run both LSFG and the game. You can still try on older less demanding games or try using LSFG for non-gaming applications. ➠ Some systems with 4k screens have unusual performance issues with LSFG. Frame generation will always generate frames in the resolution of your screen and not your in-game resolution. Please try to match your in-game resolution with your screen resolution (by lowering it if you need to) if you have issues. ➠If you are still having issues despite meeting the specifications please create a ticket over on the official Discord of Lossless Scaling on #Support channel and please make sure to include "bug report" on your title. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ➠ You can use "frame generation" and "upscaling" feature either seperately or together. If you don't want to use upscaling, you can switch "Scaling Type" to "Off" to disable it. If you want to disable frame generation, you can switch the box under "Frame Generation" tab to "Off". ➽ AMD FSR and LS1 are currently the best options for upscaling for games. ➠ If you have in-game options for frame generation or upscaling, these may offer better performance and visual quality. ➠ Using any kind of frame generation adds input lag to your gaming experience. If you have Nvidia GPU, you can use Nvidia Reflex frame rate limiter option on RTSS to reduce input lag greatly. On the app, "Setup" bottom left, scroll down to "Compatibility properties" > "Enable framerate limiter" > "async" to "Nvidia Reflex". For AMD, you can use anti-lag on AMD Adrenalin to reduce input lag. ➠ LSFG will be using a portion of your GPU's power and VRAM. Limiting your fps below what you usually play your games at helps reduce this load to make space for frame generation. LSFG isn't meant to double or triple your frame rates as is. ➠ You can use LSFG (and the upscaling feature) virtually on everything. Some of the popular uses besides gaming are emulators, movies, anime, consoles with capture cards, remoteplay, Geforce Experience etc. ➠ You can use in-game plugins. The most popular of these plugins is ReShade. ➠ You don't need to use frame rate limiter if you like to use LSFG for non-gaming applications like movies. LSFG will capture the frame rate of whatever is on the screen and will apply the frame generation on top of it. If you like to use it for movies, especially if you are using VLC, make sure to fullscreen by double clicking before enabling LSFG. EXTRAS ➠ You can read what most options do if you hover over them. ➠ LSFG works like a screen overlay. It captures the top most element on your screen and applies frame generation over it. This is why you need to disable other overlays, if there are other overlays LSFG may capture these instead of the game and this might cause issues. This is also why you need to set your games to windowed mode as fullscreen prevents screen capture. ➠ If you like to use upscaling feature only, overlays are not an issue. ➠ Lossless Scaling doesn't inject any code to games or applications. It works like an overlay, it is no different than capturing your screen with a recording app. It won't trigger anti-cheat unless it is kernel based anti-cheat and the terms explicitly specify Lossless Scaling. ➠ LSFG will produce better visual quality at 2x setting compared to 3x. The frame generation quality will also be better if you can set a higher fps limit as it will increase the amount of frame information. ➠ Although it is recommended you set your fps limit in multiples of your max refresh rate, you can also set it to whatever limit you want as long as it is within a stable frame rate. If you see problems and unable to set the limit to multiples, you can always create a custom resolution through Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Adrenalin that will allow you to set a limit to the multiples. ➠ For use with display cards on consoles, display cards need to have low latency feature like Elagato's instant gameview feature to minimize delay and input lag. If you don't have this feature, you can also use remoteplay. You will need high speed internet to reduce input lag and delay for remoteplay. ➠ If you want to record with OBS or other software, you need to use game capture and pick Lossless Scaling. Initially, this will show the settings screen. Once you enable LSFG on the game screen, it should switch to the screen with frame generation. ➽ Recording will freeze if you alt-tab to another program. To prevent this, you can enable multi-dispaly mode under "Behavior" section below Frame Generation tab. ➠ Lowering your native frame rates with a limit and using LSFG may result in making your GPU work with less power and consequently work cooler all the while visually having about the same or more frame rate.

Guide to use this: Make sure you limit your FPS in game to HALF your monitor's refresh rate, then enable lossless frame gen, which will double your fps. The FPS won't be shown on things like MSI afterburner or steam overlay. If you want to see the fps being generated by the app, tick "Draw FPS" in the frame gen option on the lossless app itself. For example, a game like Elden Ring. Since it's capped at 60 fps in game (without mods), you can put your monitor's refresh rate at 120, turn the lossless app on and play 120 fps Elden Ring ONLINE. Yep, as it operates outside of the game, it doesn't trigger anti cheat. Another game which I used quite extensively is Baldur's Gate 3. Capped in game fps to 60, and turned on lossless and played the WHOLE game at 120 fps, including Act 3. As long as you can maintain 60 fps (or whatever half your refresh rate is) you'll enjoy max fps on any game. This app has cons however, it does introduce some input lag, so if you're playing online games like helldivers, it won't be the best. But games like BG3 is great because it doesn't require fast movement. Also, I didn't notice any input lag playing elden ring, because the game is designed around 60fps. Highly recommended app - 9/10 With improvements to its functionality and input lag, I can see this app being perfect.
