 K900 | Because higher link rates are more resource intensive to run | 11:51:50 |
 ElvishJerricco | yea, and I mean it's not like it matters. IIUC almost no one can actually tell the difference between DSC on or off | 11:52:42 |
| K900 | Yeah it's designed to be "perceptually lossless" | 11:54:07 |
| K900 | Which is a very interesting choice of words | 11:54:12 |
| ElvishJerricco | lol | 11:54:21 |
| K900 | But generally it delivers | 11:54:28 |
| ElvishJerricco | there's been a few times where I saw some weird coloring that looked like compression artifacts, but the anomaly remained when I dropped to 60Hz so I'm pretty sure that means it's the software that decided to make bad colors, not DSC | 11:56:36 |

 Makuru | Is it possible to force games that use opengl to upscale with AMD FSR 4? | 15:27:32 |
| K900 | No | 15:34:33 |
| K900 | The game needs to already support some sort of temporal upscaling solution to use FSR4 | 15:34:55 |
| K900 | Because FSR4 is itself temporal and requires motion data from the game | 15:35:09 |
| Makuru | Ahh, thanks. | 16:39:28 |

 davidak | Makuru: the windows program Lossless Scaling does not need motion data from the game engine and just upscales the output image. there is also an open source clone that works on linux: https://github.com/PancakeTAS/lsfg-vk
here is a LTT video that demonstrates the difference in the result with DLSS and Lossless Scaling. The motion data helps a bit to reduce artifacts, but it's not that noticeable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCKbt8hBYAo

 woobilicious | I think technically, FSR and DLSS have 100% accurate motion data since they're calculated from the movement of objects in the GPU pipeline, while LS reconstructs motion data the same way a video codec or motion upscaler works on a 120hz TV. The Artifacts you see in LS look very similar to those found in other temporal upscaling algos | 03:05:04 |
