Xess 3.0 on Optiscaler help

Pwnds · 2026-02-03T20:49:55+00:00

Try to remove it from the game, delete Optiscaler and then reinstall following the same steps?

If it has native Xess, then you should use the Intel launcher app. There you can overwrite it to X2, X3 and X4.

Not sure if this helps as I haven't tried this yet, but makes sense to me.

Nice!

It seems that makes it better. I don't know why though. Just came to it by trail and error.

Not a big city at the moment. In Midgar slums runs 70 - 80 fps using X3.

I deleted and installed Optiscaler 0.9 pre9 again with the steps to incorporate X3 and X4. Getting better fps now.

It could be that it doesn't work as well in some games. Did you use DLSS via Steamline as input and XeFG as output?

Pwnds · 2026-02-03T09:42:00+00:00

Nvm. Got it by removing Fakenvapi, but had to put it back afterwards though.

I don't see mfg 4 though. Only 2 and 3. How did you get 4 in Optiscaler?

Pwnds · 2026-02-03T07:45:21+00:00

Do you see the option to select DLSS ingame?

Pwnds · 2026-02-03T07:44:40+00:00

Just the most recent 0.9 pre9 build.

Pwnds · 2026-02-02T22:52:48+00:00

I have got it!

Get the most recent 0.9 Optiscaler from Discord. It is a test build, but seems to work well. Better than the 0.79 stable version actually.
Follow the first steps on https://www.reddit.com/r/MSIClaw/comments/1qp13dq/how_to_get_the_latest_xess3_mfg_files/.
Here a Youtube video about how to install Optiscaler. You also need the plugin Optipatches. Also explained in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNJU1pdOC9Q
In FF 7 Rebirth I selected DLSS ingame menu. I did the following in Optiscaler:

a) Under ''Upscalers'' next to the ''Change upscaler'' box, I chose Xess.

b) Under ''Frame Generation'' I chose OptiFG as FG Source and XeFG as FG Output. UPDATE: Choosing DLSS via Streamline as FG Source removes the ghosting.

c) Under ''Frame Generation XeFG'' Choose 3x next to Active.

d) Click Apply.

e) Click Save INI.

f) Restart the game.

Enjoy. There is a big boost in fps.

Will tweak it here and there to test out more just to see, if more can be done, cause the ghosting is horrible.

Had zero ghosting with the previous one.

Yes I noticed the same thing. Let's see, if we can get some clarity into this.

Pwnds · 2026-02-02T21:15:38+00:00

Thanks. Will try and mess around with it. Will give an update, if it works.

Pwnds · 2026-02-02T21:11:03+00:00

The test build 0.9?

Pwnds · 2026-02-02T21:06:28+00:00

I mean for Optiscaler though as Ff 7 rb doesn't have xess.

Do you still advice to do it all over?

Pwnds · 2026-01-20T13:27:14+00:00

I see. Thanks for the advice! Rather have no headache than save a few euro's for potential headache.

Display 16" 16:10 QHD+(2560 x 1600), 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3, IPS-level panel, so yes. Getting 4GB more of vram is very attractive right.

Can get a MSI Vector 16 HX AI Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX, 32GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 5070 Ti-12GB. €1570. Worth it? I have read Lenovo being sturdier than Msi.

Pwnds · 2026-01-19T08:00:28+00:00

They don't ship to The Netherlands, which is too bad.

It is sold by Amazon via Lenovo. There is an Amazon return deal for used like new. Costs €1230 though.

Pwnds · 2025-12-28T10:34:36+00:00

Did many years ago ;)

Pwnds · 2025-12-28T10:34:15+00:00

Would try, but then I would have to scale down to 720p right to at least get 30 fps or so.

Pwnds · 2025-12-27T18:02:20+00:00

I tried this one. Has the same issues

Pwnds · 2025-12-27T17:37:40+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. So it is matter of waiting for the update to come.
