MADVR: stutter/judder with "Use Direct3D 11 for presentation"
Megamix-LAVFilters-0.74.1-92-x64
Player: MPC (from this package)
OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
Projector: Epson EH-TW 9200
I finally exchanged my trusty old computer with an 11 year old Intel Core 760 and Nvidia 1070 to a brand new AMD 5800X and a RTX 3080.
The old computer used MADVR like a charm (NGU Sharp High), while of course had massive problems with downscaling or high performance settings. Still 23.976, 25/50 and 30/60 were butter smooth.
With my new computer I used the same settings and wanted to go o from there. While the CPU was almost idle at 5% and the GPU at 30%, I had massive stutter in 23.976.
No problems in 25/50 or 30/60.
In the end I turned off every "trade quality for performance" option and went crazy with NGU Anti-Alias or Sharp in the highest setting. The CPU is still bored at 15%, the picture quality is fantastic, but still stuttering with 23.976.
The stutter is like this: some seconds super smooth, suddenly it stutters. Again super smooth, then some stutter. With stutter I mean that eg smoke or water is looking like 10-15 FPS, (mostly horizontal) scrolling ist like 10-15 FPS.
No frame drop or any other problem can be seen with crtl+J. Also the display and source are almost completely in sync.
Since this happened only with MADVR as renderer, I tried all settings one by one until I found the source:
I had to turn off Rendering -> Generals Settings -> Use Direct3D 11 for presentation.
Finally it's smooth like butter again in 23.976 (and 30/60 and 25/50 still as it was before).
Hopefully I can help someone else here with my findings.
Still my question: why is this happening?
