High-end GPU prices are ridiculous right now, so upgrading in 2026 can be a straight-up waste of money. In this video I show how with a second GPU and Lossless Scaling (Frame Gen + Upscaling) you can almost double the FPS you actually see, without buying a new high-end GPU. It’s not “free” (the app costs a few bucks) and it’s not magic (there’s extra latency), but if you set it up right it’s insanely effective. Quick rules: -If you’re already at 60+ FPS → use 2x Frame Gen -If you’re below that → use Upscaling (FSR) first, then frame gen if it’s stable -Don’t expect miracles if you’re CPU-limited :) Links: • Lossless Scaling (Steam): https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090/Lossless_Scaling/ • My GPU undervolt/OC guides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L2M8pTiHK0&list=PL-fiqRJr1hZddPZv_sLzGJ1uUv9kHBixk 00:00 Why upgrading GPUs in 2026 is painful 00:50 What Lossless Scaling actually does (real vs generated frames) 02:05 The setup (2 GPUs / eGPU + what NOT to do) 03:20 Best settings: 2x Frame Gen (low artifacting / low latency) 05:10 Upscaling mode for high-res / low-FPS scenarios 06:40 Final tips (latency, minimum FPS, OC both GPUs) 📷 Follow me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imwateringpsus Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/imwateringpsus ⚙️ Gear & Recommendations: Thermal Paste I use: https://amzn.to/4l646mG Electric screwdriver for PC building: https://amzn.to/3IRfndi Mini Air Duster for PC cleaning: https://amzn.to/4l12fzx Deskmat: https://deskmat.io/imwateringpsus DISCLOSURE: Some links are affiliate links, I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. #LosslessScaling #GPUShortage #PCGaming

About This Video

High-end GPU prices are absolutely ridiculous right now, and that’s why I’m telling you straight up: upgrading in 2026 can be a waste of money. On this channel I’m always trying to extract “free” performance with undervolting and overclocking first, and I still recommend you do that before any upgrade. But even a really good OC is usually like 30% extra FPS. In this video I show a setup that isn’t free, but can literally double the FPS you actually see: a second cheap GPU + Lossless Scaling. The idea is simple: you game on your main GPU, and you use a second dedicated GPU to handle Lossless Scaling’s frame generation and/or upscaling. Those extra frames are interpolated (not “real”), but they are the frames you see, so it feels like you have a faster GPU—just with a bit of extra latency if you push it too hard. My quick rules are: if you’re already at 60+ FPS, use 2x frame gen (don’t use dynamic). If you’re below 60, use FSR upscaling first, then frame gen only if it’s stable. And don’t expect miracles if you’re CPU-limited—your CPU still needs to be able to push frames in the first place.
