Frame Gen (for a small price)

[Low Blow]

Found an old thread that had received no love so I'm regenerating it here (see what I did there?) in case it helps someone get some extra fps. It certainly worked for me (netted me about an extra 60 fps with no loss in visual quality or any artefacts - works as good as Nvidia's own frame gen when baked into a game).

There's a program you can buy on steam called Lossless Scaling. It costs around £5 and will make frame gen possible for Space Marines 2 (other games too). Make sure to have SM2 in borderless mode, continue to run your in game scaling (DLSS or FSR), then LIMIT YOUR FRAMERATE in game or using your GPU's own management program to HALF of what you want your actual fps in game to be. So for me, I wanted 164 fps in game so I have capped my FPS in NV control panel to 82 fps.

The beauty is that Lossless Scaling also supports HDR and G-Sync. I'm super-impressed. Even with a 4090 this was worth it. I game at 3440 x 1440 and now I'm seeing 164 fps in the barge and anything between 140 fps and 164 fps in game no matter what's happening. This is with DLSS on quality and everything on Ultra.

No doubt you'll have some questions if you decide to follow what I've posted here so I'll try and help as best I can. But in a nutshell this little £5 gem of a program will get you some really nice FPS gains at whatever level of eye candy you are currently using.

Settings in Lossless Scaling for use with Space Marines 2:

Scaling Mode: Auto/Aspect Ratio
Scaling Type: Off
Frame Generation: LSFG 2.3 (1.1 seems to work just as well)
Mode: X2
Performance: Off
Everything else: default (unless you want to enable HDR and G-Sync options - which I have and work perfectly well).

Don't forget to limit your FPS to half of what you're actually chasing.

what about the input latency you get from not having reflex enabled?

You answered your own question - no reflex equals higher latency :P

Some people won't even notice it, it really depends on how used you are to high refresh experience and so on. But yeah latency without reflex is significant.

P.S If anyone reaaly want it i would wait for sale, from what i can see on steamdb this app is -80% on sales.

yeah so touting lossless scaling as the same as framegen is just a lie, i dont notice the extra tiny latency you get from regular framegem+reflex unless base fps is too low to begin with
