LSFG-Desktop helps you reach higher frame rates in your favorite PC games. It uses frame generation and image scaling to make motion look smooth. You can use this tool to improve performance on low-end hardware. It converts windowed games to borderless fullscreen. It reduces cursor lag. It adds support for advanced upscaling methods like AMD FSR and NIS. If you suffer from ghosting or stuttering, this application provides ways to fix those visual issues.
To run this application, your computer needs to meet these basic criteria:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- Graphics Card: A GPU that supports DXGI or GDI capture modes. Modern cards from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel work best.
- Memory: At least 8GB of system RAM.
- Storage: 500MB of free disk space for the installation.
Follow these steps to set up the software on your PC.
- Go to the official download page.
- Look for the latest version under the Releases section on the right side of the screen.
- Select the file ending in .exe to start your download.
- Save the file to your desktop or your downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to open the installer.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.
- Launch the LSFG-Desktop application from your start menu or desktop icon.
Once you run the application, follow these steps to see immediate performance gains:
- Open your game first and set the display mode to Windowed or Borderless Windowed. This setting is vital for the application to hook into the game process correctly.
- Open LSFG-Desktop.
- Select your preferred Scale Mode from the settings menu. LSFG (Lossless Scaling Frame Generation) is the default choice for the best frame rate boost.
- Adjust the Capture API setting to DXGI if your game supports it. Use GDI if you experience issues with the primary capture method.
- Enable VSync if you notice tearing during movement.
- Click the Scale button inside the app. You usually have a five-second delay to switch back to your game window before the scaling begins.
- Frame generation adds a small amount of input latency. To counter this, keep your base frame rate steady. If your game runs at 30 frames per second, the tool will target 60 frames per second.
- Use Anime4K settings if you enjoy pixel art or high-contrast graphics. It cleans up the image significantly during the scaling process.
- Monitor your GPU usage while playing. If your GPU hits 100% usage before you turn on scaling, your frame generation results might feel choppy.
- Always update your graphics drivers. Current drivers from AMD and NVIDIA include fixes for the frame generation features used by this tool.
Ensure your game runs in Windowed mode. If the game stays in Fullscreen mode, the application cannot capture the frames required for processing. Check your game settings to ensure it is not set to Exclusive Fullscreen.
Ghosting occurs when the frame generation engine creates trails behind moving objects. Adjust the AI scaling intensity or try a different scaling mode. Turning down the frame generation multiplier can also help stabilize fast-paced camera movements.
If the input feels heavy or slow, check the frame rate cap in your game. Ensure it matches your display refresh rate or a divisor of it. Disabling VSync in the game menu while keeping it enabled in the LSFG-Desktop interface often yields better responsiveness.
Ensure you have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables installed on your computer. Your antivirus software might also block the application injection process. Allow the executable through your security settings if it fails to hook into your game.
Most titles that run in a windowed mode respond well to this software. Online competitive games with strict anti-cheat software may block the injection process. Exercise caution when using this in multiplayer environments.
No, this is a software-based solution. It does not overclock your hardware. It merely manages how frames are presented to your monitor.
Yes. LSFG functions independently of the game engine. You can use it on games that do not have native high-quality upscaling support.
No, it runs as a standalone desktop application. It works with games from any launcher or platform that supports windowed mode.
