Quod non potes facere sine.

Stupefying upscaling utility with optimized scaling algorithms. A godsend to PC gamers world-wide and has the following benefits:

• Will upscale your games at higher resolutions while processing at significantly lower resolutions.
  
  
• Will significantly* reduce your gpu fan usage (*based on your gpu).
  
  
• Will keep UI scaling consistent even on higher resolutions (UI text is based on lower resolution and not rendered resolution).
  
  
• Run lower resolution limited games on higher resolution monitors without losing noticeable detail.
  
  
• Can force games without border-less window options to run in full screen border-less windows.

How to:

• Set your game to desired resolution. Some games will not have a resolution option or will run at the resolution of your desktop no matter what you do. For these games just set your desktop to the desired resolution (2K,4K etc..) and run the game.
  
  
• Set your game windowed. Not full screen border-less windowed which I believe requires different parameters.
  
  
• Depending on game set Scaling Mode to (maintain)Aspect Ratio or Full Screen. You will know to use Aspect Ratio if your now border-less full screen game looks stretched.
  
  
• Set scaling mode to Custom(manually calculate dimension multiplier or quotient between the 2 resolutions [will determine the lower resolution]) or Auto.
  
  
• Set scaling type. LS1 / AMD FSR or nVidia NIS plus a slew of other upscaling algorithms.

Game at (pseudo)4K, watch in game assets become finely detailed and watch your fan noise become non-existent (again gpu dependent). Rendering at higher resolutions also means higher levels of AA may not be required or even no AA again reducing the stress on your GPU. Thinking of spending a few hundred or even a thousand+ on a new GPU, now you don't have to.

Going forward many games like Forza Horizon 5 (FSR 2.2) have or will implement newer versions of FSR though these versions are implemented in game and cannot be implemented in any utility. With thousands of games already on the market which cannot benefit from in game upscaling this utility serves an important role in PC gaming.

Additionally has options for:

• Hiding the cursor.
  
  
• Scaling the cursor (cursor appears at lower resolution size),
  
  
• Can adjust cursor speed,
  
  
• Can prevent the cursor from leaving the game window.
  
  
• Set preferred GPU and a whole bunch of additional rendering options.

Though not every PC game imaginable may not work with Lossless Scaling it's been tested on a wide range of games.

The developer is active and has recently implemented new scaling routines..

Note: Utility is not wrapped in Steam drm and can be run independent of Steam however Steam will not keep track of the time the utility has been running. If you wish to leave a review for the product then run the utility from Steam for at least 5 minutes.

Walking blind into the thought piercing sand granules of Spec Ops The Line, not knowing or understanding what lies in wait, is akin to drawing near the railing on the roof of the Burj Khalifa and looking out into a haze expecting to clearly see the now obscured majestic definitions of the Dubai landscape below. Perhaps intentional design, perhaps not and most likely subject to the perceptive cognisance of those lost in the immersive sea of Dubai's blood stained sand.

For when the credits roll and you ponder the rich story inspired* by Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness and influenced by Francis Ford Coppola's iconic Apocalypse Now, Spec Ops The Line is elevated past common war time yarns denoted by the computer game genre.

Where the repetitive Gears of War, run, cover and shoot mechanics overrun, thankfully the avant-garde psychical linear narrative blisters continuously, frequently exposing enough underlying ethical wounds to metamorphosize the title from combat to psychological horror.

Endowed with multiple endings, I researched for a definitive authoritative source that would define which ending is lore and which ending was designed to be deceptively tangential, thus further encapsulating this deep and vividly imaginative work.

Special mention for the soundtrack and the inclusion of Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. Highly recommended and an additional play-through from an alternative perspective encouraged.

+ Reshade + SweetFX for post processing effects.
+ Flawless Widescreen for FOV control.
