I don't even like it in the cinema, so what chance does home have?

Sound is defo better at the cinema for me though, my setup is in my lounge and it isnt ideal but its good enough. I think you might be in a minority here, however we're all glad you are prepared to put your own feeling about 3D to one side and develop for everyone. Thanks again for all your hard work and for taking the time to engage us all in conversation. Its very much appreciated. |

You mean after every driver update you have to re-do the custom refresh rate optimisation, and it's not guaranteed the results will be as good as earlier? There isn't a way to save the custom refresh rates settings before updating the drivers and restore them afterwards?

Relative quality difference between NGU Sharp High vs. Very High
What's the relative quality difference between using NGU Sharp in High vs. Very High modes for Luma doubling? They both look excellent on my 120" screen from an 11' seating distance but it's hard to compare them without doing A/B comparisons with individual frames. With Very Sharp, you get High quality (as opposed to Medium) compression artifact removal which is a perk. The madvr GUI shows that the Very High setting yields a sharpness improvement and slightly less ringing but its not clear to what extent this is visible. For example, x264 "Placebo" mode also yields a small improvement but massively increases the performance impact. I'm wondering if NGU Very High is similar.
Also, as a general setting, does it make sense to turn on debanding? I currently have it set to Low/High but since I generally watch high quality Blu-Ray sources, I generally only see a benefit for fade ins/outs. It does makes a significant improvement at the beginning of the Planet Earth II episodes on Blu-Ray (one of the nice thinks about the UHD Blu-Ray's is that the 10 bit color eliminates this banding - clearly visible on the Planet Earth II UHD BDs). I read that the higher settings remove detail so I'm hesitant to use a higher setting for default debanding strength. Last edited by jasonwc18; 20th January 2018 at 16:37. |

MPC-HC can go directly to a frame number, I guess other players have that feature too. It's always best to compare yourself because every setup is different and every person has different preferences.

I have been avoiding the deringing filter for the same reason you mentioned. I read it shouldn't be used on high quality sources. |

It is pretty small, I could relate it to placebo in x264. It is better, and so is x264's placebo mode, but each step of NGU Sharp is less important. I think the quality v.s. performance hit of NGU veryhigh compared to high is better than x264's placebo compared to veryslow, but not drastically so. The choice is also a bit different because x264's placebo takes a lot more time (and thus power) while NGU veryhigh simply takes more power. You need all NGUs to run in real time to be able to use them at all.
Medium is a lot better than low, high is noticeably better than medium, and very high is a bit better than high. At least this is what I noticed during my testing. For luma I always run very high if I can. For chroma I was convinced to stay at high or below all the time, I have never noticed quality improvements during playback with very high for chroma and there have even been a few examples where very high seemed a little worse. There isn't much fine detail in chroma, sub-sampling is very damaging, so the extra power used for very high is simply wasted.

You really need to try it with a 2016 OLED (C/E/G6). Of course bigger the better (saw a demo on 77" G6 and it was much better than theater) when it comes to 3D but even on my 65" E6, it looks awesome. Probably because I sit right in front of it and in theater you don't have much control. The active 3D on Samsung sucks and gave me headache at a friend's place and almost wrote off 3D

Questions
1. Does MadVR support hardware acceleration for HEVC?
There is a lot of info out there that states MadVR doesn't support hardware decoding for HEVC, even with 9xx 10xx series Nvidia cards. 2. What is the minimum recommended video card now for upscaling to UHD? I don't care so much about using advance scalers, just basic. 3. Will it be possible to output 2x HDMi, one to an older receiver, one to an UHD display without any issues? I read HDMI clone/extended will work for this purpose. I have a non Atmos AVR but want to keep UHD whilst retaining True HD/DTS HD sound. |

1) LAV Video does the hardware decoding, madVR has nothing to do with it. Hardware decoding of HEVC with LAV+madVR works very well on my Titan X (Pascal).
2) 1050 Ti, or maybe anything with 3 or more GB of RAM. 3) Yes

you don't have to clone it you just have to send an image to the AVR that's it. |

Do that in madVR! Nvidia's stuff is terrible.

Thanks guys, I was surprised how much I had to search to find this answer.
I am an old time MadVR user back when the HD4870 ATI card was good for scaling to 1080p. I take it AMD don't have any viable alternatives to Nvidia's 1050TI? Anyone using PowerDVD17 and UHD Blu-Rays? I doubt it will work with a separate HDMI audio out so I resigned myself to getting an UHD Blu-Ray player for discs. |
