A few days ago, we informed you about the new algorithm for NVIDIA’s Image Scaling tech, NIS. This tech was available to all NVIDIA owners and according to the green team, it produces better results than AMD’s FSR. So, good news everyone as AMD GPU owners can now use NVIDIA’s tech via Lossless Scaling 1.6.
For those unaware, the primary focus of Lossless Scaling is to make a game window borderless and scales it to fullscreen using integer multipliers. As such, the output image maintains its original clarity and integrity. This is ideal for playing emulators. Additionally, players can enable fullscreen anti-aliasing in the app even if the game has no such option.
Its latest version, version 1.6.0, though adds support for NVIDIA Image Scaling. By using Lossless Scaling, everyone can use NVIDIA’s tech. And yes, this includes AMD GPU owners.
The downside here is that Lossless Scaling is not a free program/tool. While it’s not expensive (it’s only $4), we are certain that some AMD users may be put off by its price. After all, most of us want free stuff.
But anyway, those interested can purchase it from Steam.
Have fun!

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and the same applies to software
Agreed. If nothing else a person may be required to sign up for an account to get the “free” item which is a time consuming hassle especially if they require 3 security questions to create. Then it’s just one more account to have to keep up with. If it requires your personal email account then you are opened up to possible spam.
You are talking about Geforce Experience, a software developed and published by nvidia, whereas the article is about Lossless Scaling, a third party software developed by a developer who calls himself THS.
You do realize that this app, Lossless Scaling, is not published, issued or connected to nvidia in any way, right? It is just a third party – like you and me – who took nvidia’s free and open source code and added it to his software. While free is nice, it is hard to fault the developer for wanting compensation for his time. I am sure you would do the same if you were the developer, unless of course you are happy to work for free.
Everyone’s gonna pirate it.
Edit: Bought it. It’s really good!
With lossless scaling you can’t use freesync.
You mean pay for something that’s had something similar for free for some time?
