Will a potato become a gaming computer?

[ねこくん]

I'm using a translation, so I apologize for any strange sentences.
By using this, will I be able to play various games on a low-spec PC?

Share your configuration, no one can answer that without information.

your computer must be able to run the game already, it can increase the performance but it can also take more power to run the game if you are upscaling or using frame generation (framegen). If you can't run a game at the lowest possible resolution with less than 30 fps then LosslessScaling won't help in that case.

Upscaling can, FG will not help

re-read my comment, the whole performance boost from upscaling is just from running the game at a lower resolution, LS does the job of making it look better.

framegen tho can be a miracle worker if there is some underutilised gpu/cpu usage there, but i cant imagine it ever making a computer game that is a literal slide show into a functional game. But even then it doesn't actually increase the game performance (it slightly makes it worse) and just makes the image on screen smoother and more pleasing to the eyes. it has it's place its place tho, i love this app.

No, when people say that they are just saying it helps them a lot. They are jokingly over exaggerating. It won't make your games run insanely better

Not true, if your GPU has enough power to spare, you can very much generate lot of fps even if your base fps is pretty low, you can lock fps and lower resolution(native, not upscaler) to give the GPU more power as well

Tested this on the deck with games like last of us, max settings with a few tweaks, fsr quality(need fsr on to use its frame generation in that game), at 800p, frame generation on, lsfg 1.1, no fps lock though since input latency with both frame generation would be noticable even in a slow game like that, even without fsr frame generation, fps generated was high, and x3 and x4 still increased fps, more than x2(or lsfg1.1 in that test) it just also lowered the base fps more

And even at 6 watts(at lower settings and fsr performance), it still works well

how did you run it on the deck?

[FN]

game must atleast pull 30 fps else there no processing room for frame generation.

I'd say it doesn't make a potato into a gaming PC, it's more or less for giving a better experience for mid range PC's, let's say you can get 75 FPS at max settings but it's not enough to satisfy you, well Lossless scaling you hard cap at 60, then upscale to 120, you get 50 FPS for free with some mild artifacting, it's definitely worth it if you have a high end monitor of 120+ Hz

Just have to throw something in. Im running guild wars 2 wvw and when im fighting big zergs where we are like 120 people my base frame drops to maybe 18 fps but with Lossless Scaling x3 frame gen i get 54 fps and the game looks great and feels pretty smooth. I do have gaming laptop that was high end 5 years ago. But my point is that even if the base fps is below 30 this program might still give you a boost. So I think its worth trying
