A 7 year old app boosts your game's performance. With Lossless Scaling you can get more FPS for less than 8 dollars

Lossless Scaling has been around since December 2018, making older, low-res games look crisp in fullscreen. But it’s not just for retro titles, it also helps modern games run better on low-end PCs. In January 2024, it got a huge upgrade with a frame generation feature that can boost FPS in games that don’t natively support it, including emulators.

LSFG 3 update – a major milestone for Lossless Scaling

Lossless Scaling blew up last year, going from just over 100 concurrent users to 4,000. But with the LSFG 3 update, that number skyrocketed, hitting an all-time peak of 20,000. Tons of people wanted to see if this less than $8 app could actually boost FPS on older PCs – and the verdict is in: it works!

Here’s what people are saying about the latest update:

But as pumpumking says:

So, let’s talk what Lossless Scaling is all about. The app is a handy tool that enhances your gaming visuals by upscaling windowed games to fullscreen without introducing blur, ensuring pixel-perfect clarity. It's especially beneficial for older, pixel-art-style games, helping them look sharp on newer monitors. So naturally, it also improves performance in modern games on older PCs.

Playing modern games on older PCs with the help of Lossless Scaling

With the January 10th update, Lossless Scaling got even better – especially if you want to play modern games like Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, or Death Stranding. Here’s how it works:

1. Universal Upscaling – Works like AMD FSR, Intel XeSS, or NVIDIA NIS, but in any game, even those without native upscaling support.
2. Lower Resolution, Higher FPS – Run the game at a lower resolution (e.g., 720p instead of 1080p or 1440p), then let Lossless Scaling upscale it, reducing GPU load and increasing FPS.
3. Frame Generation – Generates extra frames for smoother gameplay, even in games that don’t support frame generation.
4. Adjustable Multiplier – Boosts frame rate up to ×20 for ultra-smooth performance. Best for high refresh rate monitors.

So Lossless Scaling is best for:

1. Running modern games at lower resolutions + upscaling for better FPS.
2. Using frame generation to smooth out lower frame rates (if GPU can handle it).
3. Playing CPU-bound games where upscaling helps more than raw GPU power.
