4. Preview and save: Preview the upscaled image and save it in your preferred format.

• Generally clean scaling with reduced blur versus simple integer scaling. The minor sharpening/tone changes in v2.1.1 help reduce soft edges without introducing strong halos in most cases.
• Best results on 2×–4× upscales; extreme upscaling can show artifacts similar to other non-AI scalers.

Cap Your FPS: Use a tool like RivaTuner (RTSS) to lock your base frame rate. For X2 mode, lock at half your refresh rate. For X3 mode, lock at one-third. For X4 mode, lock at one-fourth.
