News Offloading Lossless Scaling Frame-Gen to secondary GPU eliminates overhead

[alexvojacek]

Well yes... but most of the modern games on my end don't work well on my aging 3090 at full 4K and most of them runs between 50-70 which is really not enough for running on a 120hz OLED.
Upgrading to me looks like spending $1700 on a super overpriced RTX4080S to get barely to 90...

Or spend just $300 on an RTX4060 to do FrameGeneration. The upgrade path for me is quite obvious, since buying a high end card nowadays is almost out of the question.

With the RTX4060 I can have up to 170 Frames at 4K, well over the 120 I need and my card can run safely in the 40-60 range.

Also it's worth nothing that a card that can barely run at 60 FPS in a game, won't be able to do FrameGen on top, no matter what you use, because there is no more headroom for the GPU to calculate anything, so it makes even more sense to me to offload the Frame Generation to a secondary cheap GPU.

you know.. you could lower some of the eye candy... figure out which is the most demanding, and lower it... ie.. RT for example...

Yes but would would I do that if I could have it running at full 120FPS with full eyecandy?

I already tested Loseless Scaling fully with 1 GPU and latency is minimal so I can't imagine how good it would be with my second GPU.

why, cause you said this :

Well that's unfortunate.
I have to remove my internal soundcard, a SoundBlaster AE-7 to make space for the second card and I also removed my third M2, leaving the system only with 2 M2.

there is no way i would take out my own SB AE-5 Plus to make room for another card, i like playing the games i play, and listening to things like music, in DD/DTS 5.1, i have had various Yamaha HT receivers connected to my comp over the years, with Mission, and now Polk audio speakers connected to it...

But unfortunately you always have to make concessions with desktop systems. As you point out, if you want full power on PCIe you need a Threadripper motherboard/system.

not if you choose not to... which is also why i have 3 other comps beside me so i dont need to 🙂, those comps do what i cant do on my main... hence,2nd comp with all the add in cards....

either way to each his own.. i wont use frame gen or dllss so....
