Lossless scaling - frame gen and FSR upscaling in any game

[Angst]

Couldn't find a thread for this so may aswell start one.

I've just bought this on steam and it's honestly a game changer. It is a program that allows you to use frame generation and upscaling with any game with any gpu.

All-in-one gaming utility for frame generation and scaling

I had been debating upgrading my system as I could not maintain 60fps in helldivers 2, it was dropping to the low 40's and feeling inconsistent. Using this app to enable frame generation I have locked the games fps at 37 which then gets doubled to 74(monitor is 75hz). It feels significantly smoother than before and I no longer feel the need to spend 600 on a new gpu or 300 on a new cpu. Although I guess this is indicative of the times and how techniques like this feel required due to the insane pricing of hardware and minimal performance uplift of the mid range models.

Yea that was always my apprehension with frame generation besides image quality concerns. It may double the frame rate but latency stays the same.
In the use case I've found so far though having the locked frame rate while having that latency of 37fps provides a consistent frame timing/pacing which I think has a larger noticeable impact.
