It's really too bad you removed SR AB especially when NGU bloats quite a lot in combination with SR, I currently exclusively use SSIM downscaling(1D for HD, 2D for SD as I got GPU cycles to spare) and use SSIM's AB with great results For 720p@1080p, NGU Sharp wins by a long shot IME. |

NGU doesn't bloat. SuperRes reintroduces some bloating, but that's not NGU's fault. Too be honest I'm not too worried about it, because I think you're probably the only person on the planet who combines NGU with SuperRes. |

If they don't know what they are doing, they should stick with "let madVR decide" anyway. That is why this option exists, right ? Switching to NGU Sharp (medium) will not solve the problem, as it will still be too sharp. The only solution is other NGU variants (like you did for chroma upscaling). Quote:
I was not planning to use Jinc anyway if there is a good NGU alternative to NGU Sharp for chroma doubling, and Jinc has all the chances to become totally useless (performance and quality wise) with NGU Standard and NGU AA. Last edited by Neo-XP; 15th April 2017 at 17:46. |

madshi, what about the usage of sharper relaxed AR instead of strict in downscaling after doubling? You said you could reconsider this and apply it more granular depending on the sharpness of a doubling algorithm, as on weak GPUs it adds an excessive load without visible benefits and thus sometimes prevents use of a doubling algorithm with better quality. Can you please apply strict AR at least on NGU AA and maybe also on super-xbr?

Hi,
various people stated that HDR does only work when using DXVA2 with copy-back on AMD Polaris. I couldn't figure out how to change the DXVA2 mode in madVR. I double-checked every single madVR option in the settings dialog, but could not find anything related to DXVA2/copy-back (I suspect it should be under rendering). So how do I enable this mode in madVR? Thanks, direxx |

Ok so, in the past i solved the "flickering" in the black parts of the screen during videos, the letterbox black, changing my monitor settings from 60 Hertz to 75.
But why i still have this sort of horizontal semitransparent flickering only in the video portion of the screen now? If i don't use madvr the flicker goes away. Maybe it's a madvr setting i set not properly? Just to be clear, letterbox black bars are not flickered, solved by changing Hertz frequence. But i still have it in the video portion "between black bars".

madshi, i tested new NGU variants with low res low quality anime (direct quadruple very high vs AA 2x doubling very high) and must say that i still like NGU AA the most. NGU Standard is much better than NGU Sharp for low quality anime as it has much less "oil painting" effect and less aliasing but has some "flat" look to it compared to NGU AA. NGU AA has visibly less focus and sharpness compared to NGU Standard but has less aliasing and looks more pleasing and more uniform to me. So far Standard looks like a good alternative to NGU AA for those that want something sharper but not NGU Sharp level of sharp and with slightly thinner lines. I dont really like NGU Soft as it has less focus than NGU AA, thins lines too much and has more aliasing.

I thought NGU soft might be worth a look with a sharper Avisynth script but it still doesn't work as well as AA does, so I won't ever use it.
Since the only low resolution content I watch is anime I don't use the other upscalers so won't be commenting on them. I'm looking forward to the Avisynth/Vapoursnyth support the most, denoising, deblocking and further improvements to NGU AA chroma/luma. I've been using the following for denoising/deblocking for a long time through Avisynth, FluxsmoothST(12,4).FluxsmoothT(4).Merge(last,0.49) If you're using ffdshow raw like I am and you're in need of some real-time denoising until madVR adds it, give it a shot. |

Hi guys!
Can you help me? If I use Nahimic2_2.5.6 (audio tool for MSI) I do not have madvr. It just does not start. But if I install Nahimic2_2.3.15, then everything works. The whole trouble is that version 2.5.6 is better sound, as it seems to me |

I have done some experimenting with the new NGU Soft and Standard options. Standard seems very good, a nice middle ground between Sharp and Anti-Alias. I don't find NGU Soft to be particularly useful, I generally prefer NGU Anti-Alias over NGU Soft. By default I still use NGU Sharp for high quality and NGU AA for low quality material but I will keep Standard in mind for content where Sharp is too sharp. Impressive work as always.
I have noticed that the "let madVR decide" option for chroma quadrupling does not react to direct quadrupling settings so you can get odd results. Example: luma doubling = very high, luma quadrupling = direct quadruple -> low, chroma = let madVR decide, results in: luma > NGU Standard (low) 4x chroma > NGU Standard (med) 4x It would be great if the "let madVR decide" option for chroma algorithm quality could reference the luma quadrupling quality option when using direct quadrupling.

Since creators update I had a ''getting display mode failed'' message in madvr.Resetting settings did nothing but it seems a few restarts solved the problem.
Not completely sure about this one but I think that icc profile gets disabled when going fullscreen.I have only ticked ''this display is already calibrated'' in calibration settings. Also settings in chroma upscaling,image downscaling,image upscaling open behind the open window. |

Not sure if it has anything to do with creator update but with intel hd graphics 4400 I was able watch 1080p source witha 1080p monitor while doing Jinc chroma upscaling but now after playing for a couple seconds the rendering suddenly jumps from around 20 to 40-45 and I get a lot of stutter and frame drops and I need to switch to Bicubic150 so it plays smoothly, anyone having similar issues?

I have something similar happen when my GPU downclocks too much. Maybe temperature or too aggressive power saving?
