Lossless Scaling APU Offload framegen

[ZXSpectrum]

I have been playing about with Lossless Scaling recently and it works very well indeed. I first used it on my Legion Go S in SteamOS and it worked very well indeed. I have now been playing with it on my MiniPC (GMKtec K8 Plus) with a Minisforum Oculink Dock and it works great. I have now found out last night that i could actually offload the framegen portion of Lossless Scaling to another GPU so i am using an old Radeon VII doing the main work but also offloading the framegen to the onboard 780M graphics and i am getting some fantastic results. I have seen people adding really low end cards into builds to do this with great results particularly A380.

As a significant portion of CPUs now come with onboard GPU that is not used because they have a discreet GPU it might be worth looking into for some people to enhance their experience.

just had most of the last bits and cables to connect up my second gpu to get on this bandwagon and give this a try
i probably should have at least tried it first before i went out and bought a semi expensive ish gpu to do it but ehhhhhhhhhh
its gonna look half decent at least lol

Currently the only game that i have found it has an issue with is Dying Light The Beast. For some reason it causes it to run significantly slower. It does run very well on just the Radeon tho. I have just ordered a 9060XT 8Gb to replace the Radeon VII so hopefully wont run into issues with Vram with the games i play. (This build is connected to my LG C3 TV)

You better check the games you play as your going from 16GB card to a 8GB card.

At this point in time 8Gb is fine for me certainly at this price point. I dont see the need to pay 50% more for 16gb as by the time it gets to the stage where i need it i will probably replace anyway. I tend to use the system as Emulation and for slightly older games anyway like RDR2, Robocop, Resident Evil etc.
