The video introduces and demonstrates the use of an application on Steam called Lossless Scaling, priced at $6.99, which enhances game performance by improving frame rates. The presenter showcases its effectiveness on various devices such as the Steam Deck, MSI Claw, and Legion Go. The app, similar to AMD's Fluid Motion Frames and DSS's Frame Generation, boosts FPS in games like "Power World" and "Hell Divers 2," although it introduces some input latency. The tests reveal that better performance is achieved on screens with higher refresh rates, such as 144 Hz on the Legion Go, as opposed to the 60 Hz on the Steam Deck. Despite some ghosting effects and minor latency, lossless scaling significantly improves game fluidity and overall experience. The speaker also touches upon emulation and other software that enhance gaming performance, noting the minimal latency and reasonable price of the lossless scaling app as beneficial for handheld gaming on devices running Windows.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces an application on Steam called Lossless Scaling, which enhances game performance by improving frame rates, similar to AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames and DSS’s Future Frame Generation. The app costs $6.99 and is easy to use, even on handheld devices like the Steam Deck with Windows. The presenter demonstrates how to set it up, focusing on frame generation and using in-game FSR and TAA. They enable frame rate display to compare base FPS with generated FPS. The presenter also highlights the app’s user manual for additional information. During the demonstration with the game “Power World” on both the Legion Go and Steam Deck, the app shows a noticeable increase in frame rates, although it introduces some input latency and consumes some performance. Despite the latency, the increased frame rate is evident, making the experience worthwhile, especially for games that benefit from higher frame rates.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on testing AMD’s Fluid Motion on various devices, including the MSI Claw, Steam Deck, and Legion Go, with an emphasis on running Windows. The presenter demonstrates launching and using a lossless scaler to enhance gameplay performance in multiple games. When testing “Power World” on the Steam Deck, it shows increased FPS but highlights the limitations of a 60 Hz screen compared to higher refresh rates like 144 Hz on the Legion Go. The game “Bishers: Ghost of New Eden” runs smoothly with lossless scaling on the Steam Deck, providing a better experience despite some ghosting effects. Switching to the Legion Go with a 144 Hz screen, “Hell Divers 2” also benefits from the lossless scaling software, resulting in a smooth and satisfactory gaming experience. The presenter emphasizes that lossless scaling improves the feel of these games significantly without introducing frame time stuttering.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses their positive experiences with emulation and other apps, specifically highlighting software that improves performance through scaling. They demonstrate this with a game example, Zelda, showing how enabling scaling can enhance FPS and provide smoother gameplay on a 144Hz screen with minimal input latency. They note that the effectiveness of such software improves with higher base FPS. The speaker also mentions that while they don’t often cover paid apps, they found the $6.99 price point reasonable and beneficial for various handheld devices, including those running Windows on the Steam Deck. The segment concludes with an expression of gratitude towards the viewers.
