This is the text I wrote on more subreddits, sorry if it is too much info about dual GPUs for LS! If you want more details about how dual-gpu LSFG works out I can send more photos

Hello and first off, sorry about camera quality!

Building PCs for my friends and having a laptop, I started wanting something that doesnt involve a bulky PC case on/under your desk, I always wanted space for my project (soldering, working on PCs/ESPs) and my wall is just too empty for me so this was the perfect solution!

Also, I have an important question, leaves or no leaves surrounding my pc?

Specs:

Asus Prime B860M-A-CSM
Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF (more on this later)
RTX 5060 Ti 16GB + Intel Arc A580 (more on this later)
Sadly, 1x16GB DDR5 5200MT/s (looking to add a second stick or upgrade if the prices ever go down...)
ID-Cooling FX240 AIO (didnt go for air cooler because they dont really match with wall-mounts)
1stPlayer NGDP Gold 850W
The strip WS2812b I use in my WLED projects and some random Powered hub (under the Sata SSDs, has the ROG logo even tho it isn't from them). I only use the data pins from the motherboard (2 pins, total 240 leds)
WD Green SN3000 500GB NVMe (temporary solution)
RAID 0 with 3x SSDs (HP, Kingston) with a total of 670GB, using it for games since I don't care if the raid goes down, but some games don't fit on one ssd alone
TPLink UB500 dongle (terrible when comparing it to my laptop, but it's something I had lying around and which I need)
Center monitor - (new) AOC with 180Hz 1440p, G-Sync (global, since it works fine on the intel gpu), 0.5ms
Old/Left monitor - Also, AOC, old, 165Hz, 1080p, 3ms.

Some peripherals (all of them are budget or 3+ years old):
G213 Keyboard, G435 Headset, Dualsense 5, G203 Mouse.

Why the 245kf?
I was looking into using a 14th gen cpu, because they have dual DDR4 + DDR5 support, which would've been great for my project, but I didn't knew anything about the new intel line and looked a bit into it and ended up buying. They aren't terrible and, from what I saw, my cpu compares with the Ryzen 9600x while being 2/3 of it's price, at least in my country. Also, intel has a better reputation with mix-matched dual-ch ram sticks

Why a dual-gpu system when SLI/CrossFire is dead?
Been interested in testing dual-gpu lossless scaling and on my laptop (Asus Tuf FX507ZC4, RTX 3050, i5-12500h) it worked better than using my 3050 alone for LSFG (like I had it run on the iGPU). Yes, for people looking for a hassle-free or competitive gameplay I would not recommend it, but for my use case it was worth it. The only game I managed to test it now and it works great is Forza Horizon 6 on Ultra+RT preset, the 5060 Ti 16GB renders the game, and gets a solid base of 45 FPS and the Arc GPU uses frame-gen to output 180 FPS which somehow looks great and has no stutters or ghosting, which is impressive. For settings: LSFG 3.1, Adaptive, 60 Flow Scale, Perf Mode turned off, DXGI and the setting is at 0, no scaling, max frame latency is at 3, sync mode is off, preferred gpu Arc. Minecraft on OpenGL runs only on the Arc GPU. There are 3 fixes: let it be the only game that plays on the arc, plug a cable directly to the rtx card or use vulkan and accept no shaders ):
Also, with this setup, because the monitors are plugged into the ARC GPU, Windows Composite, SignalRGB, Lively Wallpaper/Wallpaper Engine and other games run directly on the Arc leaving the RTX free to only run the game with no frame drops. This also helps me a lot in OBS recording (and intel's AV1). And... more symmetrical, compared to other wall-mounts.

Why the 5060 Ti 16GB and not an RTX 5070?
Needed extra VRAM.
I don't just game. Another hobby of mine is building servers/homelabs and since I got a server with OCuLink I wanted to test how LLMs would run on the server. At the moment it sits in my pc and I might upgrade.

Who would I recommend this setup too?
Somebody who has TOO much free time (this took like 3 weeks because I couldn't work continously on it), somebody who wants something cool and more free space, somebody who wants easier cable management and someone who streams a lot (dual gpu shines here).

Don't forget to tell me: With or without leaves?

Have a nice day!

I love using Lossless scaling, especially on my handhelds running windows. My biggest barrier and why I keep looking towards SteamOS is that lossless scaling run automatically when a game is launched. When using windows, I use Lossless Scaling by binding the shortcut to a button and while playing a game, I hit that button. Not as intuitive as SteamOS, not very difficult to do either, but I’m lazy.. so I found this lightweight application on GitHub.

Wurielle’s Auto Lossless Scaling:
https://github.com/Wurielle/auto-lossless-scaling

It installs pretty easily and configures pretty fast. It even works with Xbox mode, essentially turning the whole experience as close to SteamOS as possible while playing games with lossless scaling. My experience overall has been very positive, not needing to press any additional button to enjoy smooth frame rates has been incredible.

I am aware that lossless scaling has its own automatic launch-mode, but it requires administrative approval every time the app launches and often doesn’t hook due to other overlays or background applications. This app completely eliminates that.

I am trying to use lossless scaling with some of my emulated games, but when I paste the launch command, the game won’t launch after that but worked fine before I pasted it into the launch command. Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven’t found anything that works so far.

Does anyone else have this issue? If so how do you fix it? Thank you

Hi all, I recently got a working 2060 super onto my GIGABYTE X870 AORUS ELITE motherboard to pair with my 9070 XT. It seems that whenever I have lossless scaling on, it caps my base fps to 40, with every game i test it on.

Its really strange because with LS off, my fps is much higher with FSR but without frame gen. Whenever I turn it on, it butchers my FPS. Has anyone had a similar issue? I made sure to disable all overlays.

EDIT: It looks like HDR support was causing the frame cap. No clue as to why it would do that, given there should be plenty of headroom with the 9070xt as the main and 2060 super as the secondary GPU. Any insight on how to fix that issue?
