PSA - Lossless Scaling will double your fps

[Jonny Sparta]

LS is a program that adds Frame Generation to any game you want with any (i think) gpu. It doesn't modify the game so no worries about the anti cheat.

It's 10$ on Steam... 10$... for 2x fps.
Just wanted to share since well.. I just love more fps but my 3070 doesn't support frame gen and I don't think HD2 does either.

here's how i run it - everything off in LS except LSFG 2.0 (frame generation) and hdr support and its frame counter. (called Draw fps) - A normal frame counter won't show generated frames.

Use Nvidia Control Panel or RTSS to cap your helldivers2.exe fps at half your screen's refresh rate.

From Steam library start LS and helldivers.

Then I set game to window mode (LS needs that) With LS and HD2 running then hit scale button in LS, tab back to the game and wait 5 sec for it to activate. And that's it 2x fps

Windowed game goes fullscreen when LS is activated
I also have vsync disabled not sure how that would interact with LS.

On my 5800x3d,3070 system I"m capping the game to 70 and frame generating it up to a nice smooth 140 that is stable af.

Hope someone ends up loving this as much as I am.

I always had this but never put it to use, and now that you mentioned the 3070 thing it might be worth looking into it.

Thank you so much for the knowledge drop my very democratic friend!

I think its more instructions on how to best use the program. To save anyone who grabs it the process of figuring out how to get the best results right out of the gate.

But yea.. 165fps with a 3070? 10/10
It's just crazy to me that 10$ software can give me like 1000$ worth of fps if i tried for these gains by buying more gpu.

Just tried it, did nothing at all. I usually run around 120FPS in the ship on max Graphics and Ultra Quality. In game when many things are happening im sitting on like 70-90. Was actually hoping this would do something but was kinda let down, i also tried multiple different scaling types.

What sort of settings are you using? I can't get anywhere near that without frame gen.

You need to use the LSFG option for frame generation, I don't bother with the scaling.

I did, used the LSFG option with Scaling off in Windowed Mode, put the game in fullscreen and no FPS increase at all.

Unsure if you're using Dx11 for whatever reason, but it wasn't working for me cos of it.

Small tip, if you cannot run the game above 60fps dont think about framegen or similar methods.

[Kanagi]

Nevermind it works, i need to show the FPS from that Programm and not from MSI Afterburner.

[Duskwulf]

I use it too, also 3070. It's amazing, have everything set to ultra and still never dropping below 100 fps.

[Helldivers™ 2]

Good suggestion, thanks, i will resort to this if AH doesnt hire developers who have seen the word "performance" soon

I just realised that and was coming back to mention it. To clarify for anyone else checking it out.

As with using nvidia frame generation a regular frame counter will not show the generated frames but the LS program has its own frame counter that will.

Glad to hear of fellow helldivers getting some gains :)
