$7 app enhances PC game graphics and performance

A new app called Lossless Scaling is gaining attention among PC gamers. Priced at just $7 on Steam, it allows users to enhance the frames per second (FPS) and resolution of nearly any game, even without the latest graphics cards from Nvidia or AMD. Lossless Scaling works by using various algorithms to upscale graphics and generate extra frames. While Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR features are tied to their expensive graphics cards, Lossless Scaling provides similar benefits without the high cost. The app has been in development for several years, evolving from tools for older pixel games to more advanced features that improve many modern titles. Gamers have noticed significant improvements. For example, one user reported increasing their gaming experience in Kerbal Space Program, going from 90 FPS to 140 FPS, thanks to the app. Another game, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, benefited from frame generation to boost its limited 60 FPS to a smoother 120 FPS. However, Lossless Scaling is not perfect. Some users experience input lag and odd visual effects when starting games. The app can also require some effort to set up correctly, including adjusting graphics settings and making changes through the app interface. Overall, Lossless Scaling is a promising option for gamers who want to enhance their experience without investing in new hardware. Players are encouraged to explore its settings to find the best performance for their gaming needs.
