Keeping MSFS 2020 Alive: Lossless Scaling Success Story ?

Although this is pretty much subjective, it can be empirically measured. So I will share my bias. Please share yours too. 

With all the euphoria surrounding MSFS 2024, it’s easy to overlook just how much life is still left in MSFS 2020. Lossless Scaling has just  given my old RTX 3050 a new lease on life.

I lowered my native monitor refresh rate from 144Hz to 60Hz

I turned off any V-Sync options in-game and elsewhere, capping my FPS to 20 using RTSS only.

Set LS to x3 mode with Performance Mode enabled. Enabled Draw FPS to monitor performance. That's all really.

I got smoothness when panning... and "50-60" fps in a dense environment and demanding aircraft. The best part is that my GPU is only working to achieve 20 FPS while X3 extends it to "appear as" 60. Temp is somewhat lower.

There are some drawbacks. But they are far more tolerable than Frame Rate Gen DLL.
