MSFS 2020*Better Performance, FPS, Clarity & Smoothness* Works for ALL GPU's & Multi-monitor. No VR

Increase Fps in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2 or 3 times your frame rate.
Lets get that oil ready folks I know ima hear it in the comments lol, This was largely requested so here it is.(sorry not all will get it but check the comments in sure you will). In todays video we are taking a look at the lossless scaling program that is on the steam market and does work with the steam or store purchase of MSFS but does not work for VR. I first go over what this app does and how it can help in msfs. Then I talk about the RivaTuner app to be used to cap your framerate which is important when using the lossless scaling app. I go over all the Nvidia Panel settings specific to the scaling app. I will go over a couple scenarios in the sim showing how to set up the scaling app for monitors and TV's. Make sure if you are using a TV that you choose the TV resolution in the Nvidia panel and not a Monitor resolution and the correct refresh. I will also go over DXGI and WGC capture methods and how to set those up as they require a different approach, no pun intended! I will cover multi- monitor setup so that your mouse pointer will carry over to your other screens. Last i go over the scaling methods unfortunately the upscaling did not come through on the video but it worked on my end. Obs software has issues picking up the upscaling and overlays. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments. Make sure to subscribe , like and share the video with your friends it really helps us get found by more viewers.

******************UPDATE FOR X3 FRAME GEN MODE************************* sorry i forgot this part When using X3 mode you need to make sure that you set your frame cap accordingly as well as your refresh rate for the monitor. Like I explained in the video if you are a user that can get 40 FPS Natively and you do not have an 80 hertz option for your refresh rate for the monitor and you do not want to drop down to 60 hertz then what you could do in this situation is to use 40fps As your cap and then use the times three mode and set your screen refresh rate to 120 hertz. If you have a 240hz monitor and can get 80fps natively in the sim then x3 will be good there also , set your fps to 79cap Or drop your refresh of the monitor to 160hz and set x3 mode and use 52fps cap. So as you can see the X3 mode can come in handy for those people who are getting between 30 and 60 FPS and have a higher Refresh rate monitor. X3 mode make sure that you set your frame cap to at least 1/3 of your refresh rate that you set in your Nvidia control panel And like I showed in the video I like to go one step farther and just reduce that FPS by one. The closer you keep your interpolated fps to the set refresh of the monitor the smoother it will be And to do that you want to make sure that You do not fall below your capped frame rate but as long as you are using dxgi capture method and if you do fall below your cap frame rate dxgi should interpolate lower for you and it really shouldn't make that much of a difference. *****************************************************************************************************************

Great work! However - as others have pointed out - GSync enabled gives horrendous input lag, at least on my machine (4090 7800X3D LG42 4K HDR 120hz monitor). I tried disabling GSync altogether, and disabling it for MSFS and Upscale, but still the lag was insane when enabling RTSS. Since I’m an HDR user as well as a heavy X-Plane user, I’ve dug around for methods to improve HDR in X-Plane (as it doesn’t support HDR in the true sense), and landed on SpesialK, which also features a FrameRateLimiter, and a lot of customizable controls to tweak stuff in order to reduce latency. Long story short: Disabling GSync via SpecialK + limit FPS to half refresh rate -1 did the trick! Seems like GSync sets the refresh rate to the sim output - in my case 59 FPS - regardless of what the upscale / frame gen provides, which I suppose is to be expected. Disabling all DLSS features via SpecialK also reduces latency.

[@MrScott_e]

Jon, I've been playing around with the settings suggested in your video. I'm running 3 - 55" 60 hz native refresh Rate TVs on a RTX 4090 AND 4 additional displays on a second GPU RTX 2080TI (Yes, all on one PC (5800X3D). First, RT kills my performance when adjusting to 30 or 29 FPS. IF I zero it out I get 21/42. V-Sync off and still a little jerky. Also, The smoothness is really only noticable on my Center Screen (The one I select when "Scaling" is initiated. The Left and Right TVs are not as Smooth. With all that said the over all performance is better than without using LOSSLESS. Thanks for you efforts!

[@2020fsers]

Thank you .. from what I've been hearing the scaling tool will only fg the main monitor or 1 monitor at a time and won't fg all monitors unfortunately.

[@msfselitereallifeadventures]

Seems I'll be able to hold off on buying a new graphics card for a good while still, lol. The other thing which should be mentioned is that if you cap your FPS to half your monitor refresh rate, you also save your GPU from a lot of strain. Yes, Lossless Scaling does add a bit of overhead to the card (I've tested and confirmed this multiple times), but if you cap at half of your monitor refresh rate the GPU actually gets some breathing room and stays surprisingly cool (and quiet). For someone like me who still runs an RX590 (yes, yes I know) and bog standard 60Hz monitor, this works a treat, even when bumping in-game settings to high or ultra in most cases (very little difference between medium and ultra settings if you ever care to compare, so my suggestion is to stay on high max). Anyway, just my 2 pennies. Thanks for the vid - helped me figure out what I was missing regarding the app setup.

[@DestructZero6471]

First of all, thanks for your detailed and highly instructive video. You explained everything very well (as always) and your steps are easy to follow. I had been using DX12 with FG, and when it worked, it was great - but when it didn't, it was a disaster. Many times after moving around in DX12 (MSFS 'High' settings, i9-10850k, 4070ti) I would notice stutters. Not the kind that you say "oh darn, I'm getting stutters", but the kind where the game is literally unplayable (1 or 2 FPS at the most, very jarring). Oddly enough, I could temporarily clear it by going to Settings, changing something, then changing it right back, applying the 'non' change, then returning to the sim. Anyway, I'd been fighting that for months and assumed that if I wanted DX12 FG then that was the price I had to pay. On my first tries with LS, I stayed with DX12 and FG on. That was clearly a mistake for me as several times I locked up completely and the only way to clear it was to toggle the 'Scale' button in LS off and on. I then tried DX11 again with Ultra settings, and it works like a champ. My generic test is to land at KMIA with FSLTL running (150 IFR, so I'm getting a lot of planes). Under DX12 and FG, it was always a stutter fest. Using LS and DX11, I can run under Ultra and still have a nice experience with some minimal stuttering but nothing like DX12. i did notice that when on the MSFS screen, my mouse goes to about half the size as it does on the other screens and is harder to find. I didn't notice any settings on the LS app to adjust that - do you know of a way to make my mouse bigger? Thanks again for the great job. This app is well worth the money for me.

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment . Try the mouse clipping option or test the other mouse options maybe they will help that.

[@d.p.5874]

On my side, I am quite satisfied with the free FSR3.1 mod coupled with Anti Aliasing mode "AMD FSR2 - Quality" (both AMD origin ==> best compatibility) . I also use FSLTL Traffic injector and the last MSFS Map Enhancement 8.0.8 with Google map. I am above 60 FPS whatever conditions (weather, airport etc.) with an RTX2060 - 12GB GPU and a AMD 5900X CPU. To get a crispy image I am not using GeForce Experience filters which are FPS greedy, just the anti aliasing above and the NVIDIA driver settings "Image Scaling - Sharpen at 100%" + "Anisotropic Filtering at 16" (and OFF in the MSFS general options to avoid double load) Note : I use 100% for Object and Terrain Level of Details and most of the rest in Ultra (specifically all the seven first parameters). I do not use MSI afterburner at all and run MSFS in DEVMODE with 2 monitors, i.e., 3840x1080 pxls (Half 4K) - VSYNC OFF Results are crispy and smooth as butter w/o any stuttering. Cheers

[@ronnieraytv]

Yo! Love your video bro, you killed it!!! I think I may know why Lossless is indicating @32:49 double the monitors currently set refresh rate when using 'Capture API: WGC'. The Frame Generation is LSFG 2.1 with the Mode set to x2. If there was a x1 option it would show the results you're expecting. If I'm right, I'm wondering if the fix would be to enable Vertical Sync and set it to 1/2. If it is, I wonder if that would also require you to have to change Vertical Sync in the game and possibly another setting somewhere else in the NVidia Control Panel. Thoughts?

[@2020fsers]

You could just turn on vertical sync in the simulator itself and try that which I didn't do however the X2 and X3 option in the scaling software should only double or triple the capped frame rate not your refresh rate. The other thing that I did not try was to switch back to the lsfg 1.1 and see if it works using that method however I don't use it so it's not a big deal for me. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video

[@TheReptors]

Awesome video very detailed. Thank you and 2 questions Is it work with 3 monitor? ( I do see you have 2) how to enable for all 3? And if my monitor 165HZ what should I enter at NVIDIA/Riva tuner?

It does not fg 3 monitors only 1. For 165 hz if you can get a sustained 55 fps use that with x3 mode .

I’ve tried to like this program over the past few months. Yes, it gives a smooth experience but the picture quality had glimmers and didn’t look as good.

Thank you for this video! Yesterday I installed LostLess scaling with no problem. A bit later I downloaded the Riva utility, however I couldn't open the interface once I installed the program. As a result I couldn't try either program. There is an updated version available of LossLess. The biggest issue I have is trying to get FSFS to load up quicker. There isn't very much in my community folder since I am using the Linker program. My internet speed is about 1 gig. It can take 4 to 5 minutes for FSFS to load on my system.

I then set the Auto FPS Target PC FPS for 40 and it runs very well. Thanks for your input. Garry

Thanks. Big thumbs up. Did you change anything in the NVCP regarding MSFS or VSYNC? Also, I heard LS doesn't play nice with G-Sync.

[@2020fsers]

In the Nvidia control panel regarding Microsoft flight simulator specifically make sure that you have Vsync set to application controlled. All of my other settings are the same that I go over in the Nvidia guide that's in the description. Yeah anyone with g-sync I recommend to keep that off as well I don't have a g-sync monitor so I can't test and comment but I would assume that you don't want to add any latency into the system so that's why vsync and g-sync should probably be turned off

[@SkyborneVisions]

It wasn't clear to me, as you demonstrated 144hz, but since you're using your Acer monitor too (limited to 60hz) do you normally have your Dell monitor set to 60hz to match the Acer? Also, Is this necessary if you don't plan to use more than one monitor for the simulator itself? For example, I like using my other monitors for other utilities while flying (like Little Nav Map, OBS, etc)... Would it be necessary for me to lower the refresh of the monitor I fly the simulator on, to match the other monitors, that are NOT being used by the simulator?

[@2020fsers]

I don't use my second monitor for the simulator at all I mostly fly VR but yes if I were going to use both monitors I would limit my refresh rate so that both monitors are going to be the same. However if you're not going to use your secondary monitor for the simulator then the software is not Using frame generation on that monitor also in the user interface for the frame generation tool you can select which monitor you only want the frame generation to occur on which would probably be good in your situation so this way when you click off of your simulator onto your second monitor to use navigraph or something like that that it doesn't try to frame generation your your navigraph or anything on your secondary monitor. Then you would just need to adjust your refresh rate on the monitor that you're using for the simulator only as well as your capped frame rate you may also want to set a specific profile in the Riva tuner in your case as well so this way it doesn't limit your FPS on any of your other applications and you're only limiting it on Microsoft flight simulator.

Hi, just one question. I have "Max Frame Rate=75Hz" (My monitor's refresh rate) in the Global Settings, what about the Simulator Settings inside the NVIDIA Control Panel? Before the Riva Tuner I set it to 35, but I'm not sure if I have to turn it OFF and use the Riva Tuner instead. Nice video indeed, this app is a game changer.

[@2020fsers]

do not use max frame rate in the nvidia panel if you are using rivatuner . turn any nvidia frame caps off and only use rivatuner if that is your frame cap program of choice if you want to use nvidia frame cap then dont use the riva tuner.

Second you need to modify the game files to use the frame gen mod which I don't like to do because it needs to sync with current versions of msfs for it to work properly. With the lossless scaling there is no modification of game files and no need to update the frame gen dll file . This bypasses all of that . And can be used on any game .and I can use dx11 which my pc runs better with than dx12.
