Thoughts on "OptiScaler" 😏

[Mommy💋LipStick]

So.. i have tried out OptiScaler available on Github → https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler

The utill has lots of bells and whistles must say.. Sharpener, color correction..FG.. and even FSR4 support (amd users ) ..

But.. i just don't like the id to have this installed in every game dir and thus overwrite vital og game files ..

Also, and i know it's still a work in progress.. But tends to crashes games allot .. ! Sooner or later, depending what settings you use/change..

But all in all... FG looks good and it doesn't tax the gpu that much and thus NOT reducing the base fps by allot ..

so yeah, it looks promising ..

But what iam asking myself and all LS users actually , will it be a direct competitor to LS .. in the future 🤔 ?

Well, one key difference is that LS works on EVERY game (and video content), without the needs to be "installed" in the exe path. Optiscaler on the other hand works just on games that already support a form of upscaling. I hope both LS and optiscaler will improve in the future.

True, that's the one thing i'm not keen about 😣 ..
Why... ?

It's too intrusive imo ..

And this can be considered as tampering / cheating , resulting in a permaban if you go online ..
Not to say that isn't the case with apps that uses dll hooks to read games ..

Yep, currently Optiscaler works only with games that suppor DLSS or FSR..
But and i haven't tried it yet.. but it's possible to force upscaling in these games by using custom plugins as a workaround ..

Anyway, Optiscaler is promising.. albeit, LS has a huge head start L🤭L

Maybe we can use optiscaler for lossless in a future update, like having the option to use true dlss or fsr on any game or video lol.

But i personally don't know how this works, so maybe i'm just spiting nonsense

For the FG it is going to take time before it can be more reliable and compatible with more games. For exemple, in FF7 Rebirth, it doesn't work because the game composites the HUD, color grading, and other post-processing effects in a single shader pass, making it impossible for OptiScaler to capture a HUD-less frame... I used it on Alan Wake 2, and it works wonder. Depending on the game it tends to add a lot of latency tho. I tested it on Beyond Hanwell and it was unplayable due to high latency (60 fps target). It is a promising software nonetheless !

Seems optiscaler main benefit is for ppl who want fsr4 and for games that dont support dlss but may have other upscaling

Their FG, doesn't matter to me, since I skip in game FG anyway and use LSFG with dual GPU

Weird FF7 didnt work.. have tested it myself in both FFXVI & FFVII and it actually does work and not..

It works for an amount of time, and then Optiscaler crashes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ..
But i have played whit FG settings.. that sure may have caused crasher rather sooner than later..

But, it toggles just fine in both game though.. no problem.. only.. it's with a timer .. untill it crashes 🤭

The FPS counter shows a higher framerate, but their is duplicate frames. The dev explained why it doesn't work in this game. It is also on the list of games that aren't compatible with OptiFG.

Pros and cons. Opti theoretically is better if your GPU natively supports dlss/fg, but for the life of me I can't get it to work in a lot of games. It's supposed to, but it just doesn't.
rdr2 for example, it works just fine, but no matter how hard I try I can't get optiscaler to run FG on rdr2 (specifically nukems, not OptiFG, but dlssg>fsr3)
LS works perfectly with two clicks. Optiscaler took a whole weekend from me and I still could only run OptiFG lol
Pros and cons, pros and cons.
