What can the app do? In addition to the boost for FPS, Lossless Scaling has other features that make it an exciting helper for weaker PCs.

How do users find the program? The program’s Steam reviews are very positive for news-up-to-date 20,963 reviews. Overall, Lossless Scaling is very well received by his users.

Here are a few positive quotes:

  • I really think [der Entwickler] Is a tech-in-stone that is also drunk enough to sell a Nobel Prize values ​​app for the price of a Starbucks coffee. Take my upvote and my biggest respect. – Bourbon via Steam
  • Absolute magic. You need this if you need more FPS in your games. Frame generations have a bad reputation and I was never interested in it … but this is just magic. No problems at all. Even a very low input delay, you won’t notice it. I would just not use it in competitive gaming if every millisecond counts. With any other game … that would be my tool of choice. – Muzie via Steam
  • Make frames go brrrrrrrrrrr – Duffed110 via steam

    • However, there are also critical reviews. Some users criticize that the app has recently started all games on Fullscreen and the window mode no longer works. Another player writes that the program needs too many PC resources (e.g. RAM) and would therefore make his games rather worse. Still others are dissatisfied with latency.

    While some players try to improve their gaming experience with programs such as Lossless Scaling, another has treated themselves to a new graphics card to improve the FPS and graphics. However, he has problems getting the expensive piece connected to his PC and monitor: player desperately because he does not find the connection of his RTX 4090 – the community was amazed at how to assemble the graphics card at all
