Description
I test Lossless Scaling on Uncharted to show why this $7 Steam app is outdated and not worth buying. I explain how frame generation works and demonstrate that using Lossless Scaling's CPU-based frame interpolation actually tanks performance compared to native GPU solutions. With 6X scaling enabled, I get 622 FPS but terrible latency, while disabling it jumps performance to 250 FPS with much better responsiveness. I recommend using native GPU frame generation like DLSS or FSR instead, and explain why Lossless Scaling is pointless for both competitive and single-player games.
