RTX 3090 and RTX 3050 achieve 144 FPS at 4K using Lossless Scaling for frame generation
Key points
- RTX 3090 and RTX 3050 used together for gaming.
- Lossless Scaling handled frame generation on the RTX 3050.
- Achieved 144 FPS at 4K, doubling the RTX 3090's solo performance.
- Lossless Scaling is a $7 Steam tool with broad compatibility.
Dual GPU Setup for Enhanced Performance
A Reddit user demonstrated a method to significantly boost gaming performance by pairing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 with an RTX 3050. This configuration utilized Lossless Scaling, a third-party software, to achieve higher frame rates at 4K resolution.
Lossless Scaling for Frame Generation
Lossless Scaling, available on Steam for $7, provides AI upscaling and frame generation capabilities. Unlike proprietary solutions such as Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR, Lossless Scaling is compatible with any game or video application, regardless of official support for specific upscaling technologies.
In this setup, the GeForce RTX 3090 handled the primary game rendering, while the GeForce RTX 3050 was dedicated to performing frame generation tasks via Lossless Scaling. This offloading mechanism prevented the frame generation process from consuming resources from the main rendering GPU.
Performance Results
The Redditor reported that the GeForce RTX 3090 alone achieved up to 71 FPS at 4K resolution. When combined with the GeForce RTX 3050 and Lossless Scaling, the system's performance doubled, reaching 144 FPS at 4K. This increase allowed the user to fully utilize their 144 Hz LG C4 OLED television.
Lossless Scaling Capabilities
Lossless Scaling supports 2X, 3X, and 4X frame generation multipliers, which effectively duplicate or triplicate the perceived frame rate. The GeForce RTX 3050 proved sufficient for handling 4K frame generation, with the 2X, 3X, and adaptive modes of Lossless Scaling functioning correctly.
