This PC app boosts FPS in any game on any GPU for only $7 (and it just got a major update)

It seems almost unbelievable, but employing the Lossless Scaling app on a gaming PC really gives you an experience similar to acquiring additional frames.

Last week, the app developer known as “THS” rolled out update 3.1 for their Lossless Scaling tool, enhancing its ability to decrease GPU workload substantially.

According to THS, the introduction of a new Performance Mode is said to halve the workload on your graphics card. The advantage lies in its versatility – Lossless Scaling isn’t limited to specific GPU brands or models, making it an adaptable choice over the latest AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS technologies which are exclusive to newer GPUs.

The degree of enhancement you may notice after the update 3.1 varies based on your unique hardware configuration and personal system settings.

occasionally, you may notice a slight dip in image clarity, but on other occasions, you’ll even observe enhancement due to the GPU reaching a faster frame rate, allowing the app’s special effects to kick in more effectively.

Besides the introduction of the latest Performance Mode, the upgraded Lossless Scaling 3.1 also brings several enhancements to its quality. According to the release notes, these improvements encompass:

By rephrasing your sentence, I aimed to make it more conversational and easier to understand while retaining the original meaning.

  • Enhanced overall image quality within a specific timestamp range, with the most noticeable impact in Adaptive Mode and high-multiplier Fixed Mode
  • Improved quality at lower flow scales
  • Reduced ghosting of moving objects
  • Reduced object flickering
  • Improved border handling
  • Refined UI detection

The Lossless Scaling is a must-buy app for PC gamers

Feedback for version 3.1 has been predominantly favorable so far, which helps maintain our “Very Positive” overall rating based on over 25,000 reviews on Steam.

Since its launch on Steam in 2018, the application has significantly progressed. Back in 2019, when Windows Central’s Jez Corden reviewed it on a Surface Book 2, it was already showing promising signs of development.

The Lossless Scaling app, while replicating advanced scaling capabilities found in high-end AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, is priced affordably at just $6.99.

Originally designed for enhancing classic video games, the application has significantly advanced throughout its lifespan. Now, it provides high-resolution multi-frame generation – up to twenty times the standard! – for graphics processors that lack native support for such functionality.

As an analyst, I can confidently state that this tool excels at enhancing pixel-art games, even those emulated ones, and it‘s versatile enough to handle more complex games too. Rest assured, game compatibility isn’t an issue – it functions admirably on virtually any software that runs in a window.

Similar to NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), Lossless Scaling isn’t flawless. Increasing the frame generation in a game that doesn’t initially run at a high frames per second can lead to problems such as increased latency and reduced clarity due to visual artifacts.

Still, the Lossless Scaling app offers numerous adjustable settings, enabling you to fine-tune the performance to suit your computer and preferred video games optimally.

I’m not going to act like I fully understand the app’s exceptional performance; instead, I can confidently assert that it’s an excellent investment for most PC gamers. This applies to gamers who use handheld devices running Windows as well.

Users with the most advanced GPUs, like AMD RX 9000 and NVIDIA RTX 5000, can expect to gain from Lossless Scaling in some manner, and if it doesn’t suit your needs, Steam’s refund policy, which allows for a return within two hours of playtime or two weeks of ownership, is still available.
