How good is lossless scaling?

I always hear about looseless scaling and how it'll take down Nvidia but whenever I actually do research about it their either too good too be true or just call the app a waste. I need proper comfirmation of how it can be used effectively and if I will be using it alot.

For my specs I've got a i5 11 gen laptop with iris xe. I play war thunder and rocket league and Iam planning to get games such as Forza horizon 6 and FC27.

RTX 3080 10GB + 1060 3GB experience.

RTX 3080 x16 4.0

1060 3GB x4 3.0

i9 13900KF + 32 Gb RAM

Monitor: FHD 240 Hz

In the first picture, it gives perfect fps even with this weak VGA without using LSFG. (CS2 game)

Second picture: BF6 without LSFG.

Third picture: BF6 with LSFG.

In my experience, the 1060 VGA, which is a very cheap product, serves the 3080 perfectly.

Maximum real image using LSFG can be 150-160 FPS in x2 mode with the 1060, i.e. 300-320 generated images.

Dual GPU mode with intel igpu as frame gen card

Has anyone tried with this kind of configuration before because I found the chart but it doesn't have mine. I'm using a laptop with rtx 3060 and I7 12700H that has intel Iris xe 96eu and 32gb of ram. Will having power limit on the cpu package affect the performance of frame generation as well?

Lossless scaling para gargalo de cpu?

Comprei o losslesse scaling para tentar ajudar nesse "gargalo" que tem em alguns jogos como Peak e Wuthering waves, no caso do peak, a engine unity parece meio "mal otimizada" nas primeiras montanhas é de boa, mas na última fica simplesmente terrível, tipo quedas para 30-50 fps, sendo que o fps base normalmente fica 150-200 ja com o AFMF da AMD, no Wuthering Waves o problema é que a engine aparentemente usa apenas um núcleo, entao como o meu pc usa um xeon, da pra saber a bagunça que fica, na cidade nova fica tipo, 15-20 fps e a gpu usando só 70-80%, injogável, o Lossless ajudaria para pelo menos dar um gás ou o ideal seria trocar pra um novo xeon tipo o 2667 v4?

Best way of reaching 165 fps

Hi there I've been playing fallout Nv for the millionth time recently and i figured I would use this because the game has to capped at slightly below 60 fps (59.96) or it runs into a ton of issues. I have a 165 hz display that's G- sync compatible I was just wondering if what have is optimal or i should change something? I have a 5070ti and Ryzen 7 7800x3d so i should be able to comfortably run what whatever I throw at it. The flow scale I have set is 80 Lmk if I should change anything.

Marvel Rivals Performance Help

Hi,

I'm making this post because I'm relatively new to the PC scene and am not sure how to fix this issue. A few months ago, Rivals was running beautifully on my PC with little to no issues and I had a consistent 90 frames. All of a sudden, my frames drop to >30 whenever I'm actually in a fight. In spawn room and out of fights, I stay at about 120 frames.

Can anybody help me figure out if this is a hardware issue or if I just need to tweak my settings? I don't really want to make run my game with potato quality graphics just for frames but if y'all feel that's my only option, I'll do it. Here are my PC specs and Rivals quality settings.

Any and all help is very much appreciated !!

I tried it once but it has inconsistent lag and stutters.

Everyone gasses this up so much so I'm confused why it doesn't work for me.

I'm using it on valheim. My FPS is variable 30-60 and when I turn it on it works but I get a lot of inconsistent lag that breaks immersion. E.g if I just spin my camera in a circle it's not a smooth circle.

I've tried increasing the buffer frames/frames in queue button etc. I've tried setting it to 120fps target. I dunno. It's just the inconsistency of the lag that makes it unusable.

[HELP] - GTA V Enhanced Settings

Hello,

I wanted to try LS on GTA V Enhanced version but when i launch LS, the game drops to 3-4 FPS and is unplayable.

I tried severals differents settings but everytime it's doing the same thing. Even if i don't enable anything in LS.

Why ?

u/Grochonou — 4 days ago

Dual GPU question.

I have a MAIN VGA RTX 3080 . I put a 1060 3GB next to it, this VGA can go up to 190 fps without LS, with LS 118 real fps in x2 mode.

A 6500XT would be enough or as I looked at the list the next step is a 3060 but that's double the price.

What do you think?

Lossless Scaling: experimental Decky LSFG-VK plugin for lsfg-vk v2 developer builds

Hi everyone,

I’ve released an experimental Decky LSFG-VK plugin that brings the current lsfg-vk v2 developer build to Steam Deck / SteamOS users.

Release/download:

https://github.com/eugeniosegala/decky-lsfg-vk-experimental/tags (download the latest tag)

A bit of context on why I made this:

As of 30 July 2026, the public Decky plugin’s lsfg-vk build is 140 commits behind the latest upstream "develop" branch (this is mostly because lsfg-vk, which is also the library used by the Decky LSFG-VK plugin, hasn’t released a new version in a while, keep in mind that I'm using a develop build).

This experimental plugin instead packages the reviewed, checksum-verified "lsfg-vk 2.0.0-dev28" developer prerelease of the engine lsfg-vk (released a month ago). It is not a rolling download: each plugin release pins and verifies a specific upstream archive.

In my own testing, I’ve had very good results:

- Noticeably less ghosting in some games; in a few cases it is barely noticeable.

- FP16 (new option) can improve performance on supported AMD GPUs.

- I suggest starting with Performance Mode disabled. Performance Mode is faster, but the full-quality mode in this v2 developer build looks substantially better than lsfg-vk v1 in my testing.

- That said, this is still a developer build. Some games may regress, fail to attach, or simply work better with the public/original plugin. Please test it game by game.

It is designed to coexist with the original Decky LSFG-VK plugin. The experimental version has its own private install, config, and wrapper, so you can keep both installed and choose one per game:

- Original/public plugin: "~/lsfg %command%"

- Experimental plugin: "~/.local/bin/lsfg-vk-experimental %command%"

Use exactly one wrapper per game; do not combine them.

Huge thanks to Kurt Himebauch / xXJSONDeruloXx for the original Decky LSFG-VK plugin, and PancakeTAS and contributors for lsfg-vk. This is an independent experimental fork, not an official.

Full repo: https://github.com/eugeniosegala/decky-lsfg-vk-experimental

I’m also working on a completely new plugin using a new frame-generation model for Linux/SteamOS, so keep an eye on the repository! 🙂

Dual B580 vs Upgrading

Ive been looking at getting a gpu upgrade, i got my b580 at launch and have loved its performance for the price. Id love to be able to do 120fps @ 1440p but unfortunately the card just cant handle in in more than a few of the games i play (Helldivers 2, MH Wilds, Oblivion Remastered). Ive seen the spreadsheet shows the b580 performing well at 1440p but im curious if anyones ran a dual b580 setup for gaming. If so: how does it perform?. My motherboard (EVGA x570 FTW) does support pcie bifurcation so id be able to run both cards at x8

My other option aside from buying a second b580 is just getting a better card. Id most likely be looking at a 9070xt but itd be limited to pcie 4x8 if i were to keep my b580 for frame gen. The arc handles 1440p very well for the price, but im not sure if its worth dropping $700 on an upgrade over getting a 2nd b580 to 1.5 or 2x my frames with lsfg

LS works very nicely in EU4

Recently I've upgraded to a 4K monitor, which is nice, but also faced some UI scaling issues in older programs/games like Europa Universalis 4, where even the fonts are raster based.

In the attached picture you can see comparison between native 4K with in-game 1.5x UI scaling (blurry, distorted text and icons) vs. 1440p with 1.0x UI scaling, upscaled by Lossless Scaling to fullscreen, much better!

EDIT: the LS1 sharpening is set to "2", but even with sharpening turned off it looks better than the in-game scaling.

Upscaling desktop apps

Has anyone tried to upscale desktop apps and have decent amount of FPS?

I have a 5K (5120x2880) display with Windows 10 scale set up to 225%. Certain older GUI applications are not compatible with High DPI and they do not scale well (especially the text is blurry) - for example older version of Source Filmmaker / Daz Studio / older 3ds Max

I only did recently heard of Lossless Scaling and I decided to give it a try. With LS1 apps scale somewhat reasonably but the framerate is horrible, like 3FPS or something and mouse is stuttering. I have noticed that the framerate goes to normal when moving around GUI elements like buttons etc.

I have tried disabling G-Sync/V-Sync etc but none of the settings seem to make any difference. I know that Lossless Scaling is primarily for games but maybe someone has similar usecase to mine.

Also one thing worth mentioning is that changing the property in 'Change high DPI settings' in 'Compatibility Tab' to 'Application' makes the native rendering of application without scaling it but in my case the GUI is too small on such high resolution.

Man I need help

I recently upgraded my motherboard to be able to run x8x8 on my setup for my main card the 7900xtx and a 9060xt but I’m having issues I regularly have when I’m having driver timeouts and makes my system unusable outside of safe mode that make me unable to use my graphics cards at all

The first issue is the time outs every single time I update the drivers they corrupt unless I delete and clean install with ddu and AMD clean up at the same time and fixes my problem that’s fine I know how to work it but it happens way too constantly.

Then the upgrade from a b850 max gaming W to a b850 pro art wifi Neo which allows me for regular x8 x8 at gen 5 I’m not sure if my bios isn’t working well but I genuinely don’t know what to do in that aspect

Now the actual issue with my Os windows for some reason dies as soon as my drivers corrupt I can only work in safe mode since I freeze in regular and I can’t do anything for a lot of time unless I’m fast enough to redownload the drivers before the first freeze but now the issue is worse I can’t open windows or settings and I get the prompt “process has no application to work please download” I don’t get this in safe mood I searched and I have to do something in command prompt and it’ll apparently work

The other thing might be the riser cables which are different and different gen one is Liam li gen5 and the other is the hyte gen4 which unfortunately due to case restrictions I have to place the gen 4 on the 9060 and the other on the 7900xtx

The actual full specs are

7900xtx (sapphire nitro+
9060xt (yeston sakura
9800x3d
B850 pro art WiFi Neo
A 2tb SanDisk/wd sn7100
1th velociraptor 10krpm hdd(was not used before the mobo upgrade)
Hyte y70

Rm1000e Corsair psu (changing to the edge gold lianli 1200w when cables arrive
And a few dozen fans

If any ideas surge please share thanks as always

I would go to computer repair shop but since this type of system is not known there isn’t much people who can actually help in my country unfortunately
