If you would like to test it, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 2 have free demos on steam that support HDR.

Thanks, I might if I find the time, but not a priority here. Also how am I supposed to know if the metadata is correct or not? At least with UHD Bluray we know what the correct metadata is, plus MadVR shows it in the OSD.

nVidia is sending metadata, it's just not the correct one. the only way to know is to know what should be sent in passthrough mode.

[huhn]

it's usually 4k with 10000 nit as pure white (will be clipped anyway so they didn'T bother.)

you will have sliders to control the meta data and you only need to look into the sun the max nit you setup.

[KoKlusz]

Tomb Raider internally reaches max 1500 nits, while RE2 4000 nits, so those values should be somehow reflected in metadata. If you gonna get the same values as with madVR, than metadata is fake.

That said this is purely to satisfy mine and sat4all's curiosity, so don't bother with this if you have better things to do.

This is confusing.

The color graders don't have the right equipment.

We don't have the right equipment.

Neither parties have the right equipment to view the standard..

It is an expected behaviour for the GPU to reject every single optimized pixel clock up to clock number 32? A compatibility of 85 sounds a little bit more promising than that.

Am I doing something wrong or it is the display of my TV driving me nuts?

Not really, I never had any success with that side of madVR myself, so just always used older nVidia drivers that accepted custom resolutions. I always found the numbers that madVR was saying would work were of no use.

I think others have more success by inputing the numbers madVR gives into CRU, I never had much success with that, but lots of others did.

Can anyone recomend me good settings for madVR can't seem to find some good settings most of what I have found is for older versions and with some video stutters
I have gtx 980ti i7 5930k and watching on 1440p screen mostly 1080p content sometimes 4k if that helps
Thanks

The guide above is very relevant. It works best if you create profiles as in the guide for each resolution you are using.

Best bet is to set it up as per the guide and start low with options and work up to either what looks good to you, but is under the GPU utilization to stop issues.

I have an old "720p" which is actually 1024x768 pixels... so I have 5 resolutions set up (59,60,71,72 and 75 Hz). The thing is, my TV will only accept resolutions with a Vertical Total around 800 (it seems to be +/- 10 around 800) Anything else and the TV rejects it; saying "invalid Format". It took a lot of errors before I realized what value was limiting my choices. Now when I optimize, if there is no suggestions with a vertical total around 800, I just play another video and try again.

So I suggest you look at every resolution your TV actually accepts and see if there is a value in those resolutions that is similar to one another... as I said, for me it was vertical total 800 (+/- 10), for you it may be something else, but it's worth paying attention to the resolutions that are accepted

It isn't expected behavior, but it happens. Often, the only option left is to try another video driver version or CRU.

[OakLover]

That custom resolution feature seems to work for me right now. I played two different videos for over an hour each and tested two optimized pixel clocks with a compatibility of 50. I got two times a hit.

There is an Extension blocks section on the main window of the Custom Resolution Utility and I had to delete the resolution I currently try to optimize from two different Data Blocks called TV resolutions and HDMI support (Screenshot).



I don't use CRU to add those resolutions to my system. madvr is doing all this work and now I wonder if it will work a third time.

EDIT: It worked for a third time.

Excuse me guys, a simple question:

For an user forced to use D3D11 hardware decoding .... Isn't possible to put subtitles into viewing area?

Thank you so much

[sneaker_ger]

There is no black bar detection with D3D11 native (or DXVA2 native). D3D11 copy-back or DXVA2 copy-back aren't fast enough on your system?
Workaround would be to (hard) set different subtitle position if your player allows this. But of course needs to be changed manually when you switch to a movie with different AR ...

As a user of a plasma 1080p panel I have to admit that my future upgrade to OLED is looking scarier and scarier. There seems to be so many buts and ifs for UHD HDR playback that I dread the day I'll have to deal with them.

Having bought a 4K TV a few weeks ago, it is quite daunting but I think only because we try and get the best out of it.

For example your average Joe will select a preset and away they will go, we are the ones worried about Gamma, crushed blacks and I do think we make things hard for ourselves, I know personally I was quite in awe of UHD when I played my first file, but by the time I have tweaked, changed settings it seems a lot flatter now, so unsure if I am doing more harm than good.

I also do not know how you would know if the metadata was not correct ?

Looks like we can't know unless the TV reports it. At first it looked like it was only 417.** and later drivers (I'm using 416.81) but then someone posted that this affected all drivers after the 398.** ones, so if true nvidia has been affected by this for a while now.

That's why I didn't dare to acquire one. Not to mention, I'd only need the quater of its features, and smart users can even find issues with those. Maybe just a huge monitor and that's it? But for what price? Maybe we need a separate topic exactly for "What display for madVR?"

[Warner306]

But still can't beat the perfect blacks and contrast of an OLED. If burn-in isn't a problem, they are the best panels out there, IMO. Bright LEDs with local dimming have more downsides. It is more a matter of whether tone mapped HDR is satisfying enough to own an HDR display. I think it can be given current content is graded to match these displays.
