The latest Lossless Scaling 3.1 update introduces groundbreaking performance optimizations, potentially reducing GPU load by up to 50% while maintaining image quality. This $6 Windows app now emerges as one of the most potent DLSS/FSR alternatives, especially for non-RTX GPUs. Our tests show significantly improved frame rates in demanding titles with minimal visual artifacts. Version 3.1 enhances its AI-powered frame generation with better temporal stability and reduced input lag. The update also adds new scaling algorithms and improved compatibility with DX12/Vulkan games. For budget gamers or those with older hardware, this tool could be a game-changer, offering near-DLSS performance without needing expensive RTX cards.
