I need help understanding before I buy this.

So I'm trying to play Cyberpunk on my laptop with 1050ti, 1080p screen.
I'm using 1366x768 and Full-screen in-game so it fills/fit my screen.

From what i understand this app runs game in windowed mode at 1366x768 and upscal it to 1080p to fill my screen using FSR at Auto scale setting(i used demo version). Which also fills my screen fully.

So my question is what's the use of this app when I can just run it with in-game setting at low resolution and full screen setting instead of going windowed mode n then upscaling ??

I didn't notice any major difference in fps and picture quality between both (maybe cuz of low resolution).
I'm still trying to understand this.
Thank you.

Demo has no FSR or any other advanced scaling options, just integer/nn scaling. That's why you see no improvements in picture quality.

I found it on internet through some random link so it could be cracked version (didn't know this was paid app) and it does have FSR.

That aside what i want to know is what's the difference between windowed upscaling via this app and lowering in-game resolution to fit/fill my screen?

Lowering the game's resolution would force the graphics driver to use bilinear scaling, which many people don't like because it blurs the image a lot. FSR or LS1 have much better image quality compared to bilinear. It's also possible that this particular game uses its own scaling instead of letting the driver use bilinear.
However, if you don't notice a difference in other games, you may not need to use this app.

So I again tried comparing images now with exact location and pixel peeping.
And i have to say lossless scaling looks much better ,guess I wasn't looking enough before.
Really nice app to have.

One last question which is better
Going from 1366x768 to 1080p or 1280x720p to 1080p ? ?
One guy told me 720 is better but 768 has more pixel information.

A higher resolution provides better quality but a lower frame rate.
