Lossless Scaling is a lightweight third-party utility available on Steam that acts as a universal bridge between your game’s rendering pipeline and your monitor. Unlike driver-level utilities or native in-game features, Lossless Scaling operates on the Windows presentation layer.

While earlier versions (1.0 - 2.0) introduced the ability to generate frames, they were often plagued by visual artifacts, such as "halos" or ghosting during rapid camera movements.
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty numbers, here is what LSFG 3.0 is designed to do: analyze your game’s real frames and insert artificial, AI-generated frames in between them to make the motion appear smoother.
