    Just wondered if there is a definitive guide step by step how to set this up, to emulate 4K with a 1080p or 1440p output from TSW. I've jumped around a few search results and can't quite get my thick skull around the processes needed. Thanks in advance.

    I haven't tested it in TSW, but here's how I use it in Oblivion Remastered.

    Set game to Windowed mode and your resolution of choice (2560x1440 in this example)
    Set scaling type to FSR
    If you're using HDR on your desktop, select HDR support. Same for GSync

    Then click Scale. It should upscale it to fill your screen (3840x2160 native resolution in this example)

    Quick update. Not much success with the Lossless Scaling app. Part of the issue seemed to be whatever my full screen resolution was set to in TSW, when I changed to Borderless Window it defaulted back to the monitor native 4K resolution 3840/2160 so back to running at 15 FPS. The option to change resolution greyed out as soon as Borderless selected.

    So for now I’ve refunded the app and might play around in Nvidia a bit more. All of which is really dancing around the edge of the real solution, that TSW now needs much better hardware to run on than when it first came out 7 odd years ago!

    I believe that the Nvidia image scaling requires TSW to be in full screen

    Use Windowed mode. LS will still give you a fullscreen presentation, but in TSW you now have resolution control.
