Lossless Scaling: Hags !free!

But what exactly is HAGS? And why does a simple upscaling tool care so much about a deep Windows graphics setting?

HAGS works by utilizing specialized hardware, such as Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) or Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), designed specifically for scaling and image processing. These hardware accelerators can handle complex algorithms and mathematical operations with ease, enabling the rapid upscaling of images while maintaining their original quality. lossless scaling hags

This is the foundation. Without this, the "Lossless" part of the scaling is compromised by OS overhead. But what exactly is HAGS
