I've come across this utility before - using it seems to add input latency according to the reviews it has on Steam. So using it to increase performance isn't really better than not using it, it's just a tradeoff.

If you're not sensitive to input latency then that's likely going to be a good tradeoff for you, but if you are (or play competitively) it's not.

Why does OOP call it a FPS? Is it to gain some frames per second?

[-] MHLoppy@fedia.io 25 points 8 months ago

That's one of the program's common usages, yeah. Among other things (like integer scaling for pixel-based games), it can be used to:

  • render a game at a lower "internal" resolution and then apply one of several upscaling options to make up the difference, improving performance and hence "free FPS", and/or
  • generate intermediate frames between "real" frames, which I guess you could describe as "free FPS" (but the quality of the intermediate frames will be so-so - there's lots of tests and stuff of frame generation more broadly if you're interested!)

edit: added frame generation

I kept reading it as first person shooter.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
