Lossless scaling is absolutely a must have tool, the best part about is that you can lock the games fps to 60 and then use 2x in lossless to boost fps to stable 120fps with barely any input lag, this is also amazing in old games that don't support more than 60fps (dark souls) or even emulated games from 3ds that usually have 30fps limit, 60 with fan mod and then you add lossless to boost it to 120

The "scaling" is regular linear upscaling that your OS already does automatically

The benefit of this is, as far as I can tell, only in fullscreening weird eroge that are in tiny windows with no fullscreen methods.
>The "framegen" is the shitty interp method used on garbage TV's
It's significantly better than that dipshit. You can pirate it and try it yourself, it doesn't work well with games where you'll notice slight input lag on account of rapid camera movement but for slower paced games it's amazing. And hell even if a game has some camera movement you'll get used to it and it will feel fine and look a lot better.

It's great for Okami which is locked at 30fps for example, or the GC Zeldas.
>>
>>726020938
That is true though, it feels weird buying it. It's like buying Reshade, MSI Afterburner, or ENB.

agreed but we live in a world where mods that implement dlss are paywalled, shit's fucked

Playing PS2 games at 120fps is cool. Or setting the frame rate to 72fps(slight speed boost which even benefits some games) gives me 144fps which is really cool.

Upscaling is somewhat important when playing old games on new tvs / monitors. Basic scalers cost $100+ for the N64, and without them, games look like mud on modern displays. (They still don't look amazing with the scalers....emulation kind of btfos official hardware in that sense.)

Anyway, I'm sure there's a case to be made for upscaling older games that don't have the option built-in.

>>726025389
Really depends on the game, a lot of older games through emulation have no downsides since you can't even move the screen enough for it to create visual oddities

What games work well with it. I only play older FF, terraria, and emulated games

>>
>>726015092
Maybe, but 4K is a luxury, not a need. by that I don't mean that it's too expensive, but that it's for those who want to invest in it.
Like a car, I won't argue or call out anyone who loves their cars and spend a lot in upgrades, customization or alike, but msot people want a car that takes them somewhere else, and as long as they do that at an afforable price without much maintenance, it's ok.
Gaming is the same, sure, go for big upgrades if you want anc can, but it's not a standard to follow. 1080p is more than enough for pretty much everything.
>>
>>726013427
>why aren’t you buying it?
My card can do DLSS.
>>
>>726013427
I love this tool, use it every time my 4080S can't handle shitty optimized games. The only issue however is the horrible input latency (worse than dlss/fsr).
>>
>>726028758
Why do you need to follow a standard? LCD screens are objectively a huge step backwards from CRTs and the only way to bring it back to how it used it to be is to get a durable QD-OLED, at least 27" for 1440p if you want the same clarity. And that's just to get the same image quality you had as a kid.
>>
>>726030003
You don't have to, that was my point. That the important part is that you get an experience that works for you. A standard offers stability and ease of use at the cost of a more optimized setup. If you're willing to invest the time and money to go beyond, go for it.
But msot people don't becase they don't have the need or are that ivnested. I tried all sizes but ended up setting on 1440p because it offers the best of both worlds for now to me. Once things get cheaper I might consider 4K, but as of now the upgrade isn't worth for me and rather spend that money on other hobbies I enjoy more than vidya.

That it is both stupid to claim 4K is the new god as it is to imply it is not a tangible upgrade from 1080p.
>>
>>726030272
Funny you said that, I tried 1440p at first and it didn't feel like an upgrade over 1080p at all. Good thing I could still return it.
>>
>>726013427
Because I'm not coping with a Series 1000 GPU and can already run games at 1440p 120fps. Why would I pay for fake frames?
>>
>>726013427
I already did years ago. I only use it for older games that have their physics bug out over 30/60fps. Still useful even if you have a high-end GPU.
>>
>>726013427
>Frame gen: :|
>Frame gen, vendor neutral: :O
>>
>>726030448
And I'm not into games with detailed graphics so going beyond 2K doesn't translate on a better experience for me. I also have a hard time noticing 120fps. I can tell it's there, but doesn¡'t feel like something I need so I lock fps to 60 anyway.

But yeah, if you like it, good on you. S jsut not something worth chasing and calling out others, same way it would be dumb to laugh at someone for having a mid car if all they use it is to communte from time to time, or that their lawnmower isn't some ultimate Grascutting machien if all they care is to have a well maintained garden.

The upscaling and framegen obviously is worse and looks shittier than fsr and dlss. This tool is nice to add some sort of upscaling to games that don't have it but you gotta remind yourself that it isn't properly integrated into the render pipeline like nvidia's and amd's solutions are. It doesn't get motion vectors, it doesn't use your hardwares native capabilities.

Hence you have a shitton of hlurry ghosting and input lag and games that genuinely profit from it are sparse.

I guarantee you it won't render games that have physics and animations tied to a target framerate of 30 FPS at 60 FPS (not without things looking like they're running at x2 speed anyway.)

If you couldn't figure out with >>726023379 that it's an upscaling program, and couldn't figure out from other posts involving "fake frames" that it has Frame Generation then you are mentally challenged.
I'm not even trying to mock or insult you.
