Lossless Scaling Frame Generation 3.0 Beta Update: Enhanced Latency and Reduced Artifacts

Exciting Update: Lossless Scaling Software Version 3.0 (Beta) Released

Lossless Scaling, a popular software among gamers, has recently undergone a significant upgrade by developer THS. The new version, known as Frame Generation 3.0 (beta), marks a year since the original Frame Generation implementation and promises substantial enhancements in quality, performance, and latency.

Key Improvements in Frame Generation 3.0

This latest version substantially reduces flickering and border artifacts, resulting in improved motion clarity and a smoother gaming experience. Notably, the software’s GPU load has decreased by an impressive 40% when compared to the previous LSFG 2 x2 in Non-Performance Mode. Additionally, users utilizing multipliers above x2 can enjoy over a 45% reduction in GPU load. Most importantly, developers have reported a 24% decrease in latency in Frame Generation 3.0 compared to its predecessor.

Unlocking Frame Rate Generation Multipliers

One of the standout features of this update is the ability to unlock frame rate generation multipliers of up to x20. To achieve optimal performance, THS recommends adhering to the following guidelines:

Base Frame Rate: A minimum of 30 FPS is necessary (40 FPS is recommended, while 60 FPS is ideal) for 1080p resolution. For enhanced performance, it’s advisable to lock the game frame rate, which can help manage GPU load and enhance frame pacing.
Resolution Settings: For higher resolutions, users are encouraged to either maintain frame rates above the recommended levels or utilize the “Resolution Scale”option to downscale input to 1080p. Recommended settings include:
- For 1440p: 75% Resolution Scale
- For 4K: 50% Resolution Scale
High Multiplier Recommendations: Higher multipliers (like x5 and above) excel with high refresh rate setups. Suggested combinations include:
- 48 FPS at x5 for 240Hz displays
- 60 FPS at x6 for 360Hz displays
- 60 FPS at x8 for 480Hz displays

Compatibility with New and Old Games

While modern PC games have begun to integrate native frame generation technologies from NVIDIA and AMD, older games continue to benefit significantly from Lossless Scaling, particularly when enhanced with mods.

How to Access the New User Interface

THS has made it simple for users to opt into the Lossless Scaling User Interface 3.0 beta. Just visit your Steam library, right-click on the software title, select properties, and navigate to the Betas tab to opt-in. Additionally, users running Windows 11 version 24H2 can once again choose the DXGI Capture API, following Microsoft’s recent KB5046617 update.
