Helldivers 2: Super Helldive Test with 2 GTX980s and Lossless Scaling
This video tests whether there is a performance improvement when applying Lossless Scaling using two GTX980 GPUs in Helldivers 2. After trying various scaling ratios, it was found that Lossless Scaling increases the frame rate but increases input lag, which negatively affects the gaming experience. This problem was especially noticeable with 3x or 4x scaling. Compared to not using Lossless Scaling, an environment without input lag provided a better gaming experience.
1. 🎮 Setting Up and Preparing to Test Lossless Scaling in Helldivers 2
- ✅ Testing Lossless Scaling performance in Helldivers 2 using two GTX 980 GPUs.
- ✅ The first GPU runs Lossless Scaling, and the second GPU renders additional frames.
- ✅ Trying various scaling options using LS LSFG 3.1 and LS1 settings.

2. 📈 Performance Changes and Input Lag Tests by Lossless Scaling Ratio
- ✅ 2x Scaling: At 120 FPS, there is no significant difference in perceived performance.
- ✅ 3x Scaling: Increases to 180 FPS, but a slight input lag is felt.
- ⚠️ 4x Scaling: Increases up to 240 FPS, but the input lag becomes severe, making the game uncomfortable to play.
- ✅ GTX 980 is an old card, so it is difficult to expect high frames.

3. 🚀 Super Helldive Play and First Impressions of Lossless Scaling
- ❌ Lossless Scaling has decent frames, but it adds input lag, which reduces the comfort of the game.
- ❌ With 3x or 4x scaling, even if the frame rate is high, comfortable play is difficult due to input lag.
- ✅ SLI does not work properly in Helldivers 2.

5. 🤔 Final Conclusion on Whether to Use Lossless Scaling
- ✅ When comparing the case of using Lossless Scaling and not using it, the case of not using Lossless Scaling provides a better experience.
- ❌ Lossless Scaling increases the frame rate, but the game feels slow and sluggish due to input lag.
- ❌ Lossless Scaling is not recommended even when trying to increase frames using two GPUs.
