Kind of cool,where for some systems its possible to use an external portable gpu and lossless scaling.



The only issue I guess is that you need recent devices that have thunderbolt 4 for example.

This is pretty interesting too. I offloaded my 4790k + 3060 + 16gb DDR3 setup to a friend so it's still in use. For 130€ more that's not a bad idea. I've used Lossless Scaling myself for a long time (for scaling, never for frame gen) and it's a decent software.

You know I started thinking, I wonder if that two-card frame gen trick would work with a 5080 at 4K.

I usually get around 80-140 fps in more demanding games, but my monitor is 240Hz. Could I double my FPS with some cheap 130€ arc card? I guess the only question is if those cheap intel cards have enough horsepower to generate a hundred frames at 4k, but at that price it might be worth giving it a shot just for the hell of it. In theory a higher base frame rate should lead to less artifacting and ghosting, right?

Perhaps I should've held on to my 3060 to use that as a secondary frame gen card instead, but oh well.

This is the first I've heard of using a spare GPU for Lossless Scaling, that's insanely innovative.
I've only known of CrossFire and SLI and they weren't worth the money spent for the frames the could output.
