How did you get it to keep a custom res you actually needed, or how does it read it as whenever I have something in there it ignores it anyway ?

You need to use CRU with any recent version of the drivers, and it will only stick to 12bits if your default mode is 4K23p. If your default mode is 4K60p, it will revert to 8bits.

Both MadVR custom res and Nvidia custom res don't work with recent drivers.

I agree as it has been for a lot of us for a long time, I don't seem to have much luck with CRU either, too many numbers and all I have to do with earlier drivers is change total pixels from 1125 to 1124 when nVidias custom res does work.

Hey ho, back to 390.xx again I guess

Is there an option in madVR to control which GPU it uses?

I have recently setup a multi-gpu system with one powerful GPU and a secondary weak GPU used only to drive an extra monitor. Every application seems to use whatever black magic is done in Windows 10 for the rendering to happen on the powerful GPU and the final image to be sent over PCI-E to the weak GPU.

The only exception to this is madVR - when more than exactly half of the player window is moved on to the monitor connected to the weak GPU, madVR performance falls off a cliff as it starts using the weak GPU for rendering.

Is there an option to disable this behaviour and have it work like other apps/games?

Make sure that when you make any changes it is not the current active resolution. I simply use madVR's custom resolution page to both create the custom mode and optimize it. Everything worked perfectly the first try, this is only 8 bit video modes as I don't like 10 bit with my TV.

The only thing I needed to pay attention to was making sure my 23 Hz resolution was not active when applying the optimize.

Is the FSE mode on windows 10 new update corrected or should i still keep my windows 10 before falls creator untouched? Because before 1709 everything is ok on FSE. Works like a charm as in W8 or W7.

The FSE is not working with W10 + Nvidia 399.24

Thanks for the reply. Well a lot of us do not seem to get the same joy.

TBH I struggled with madVRs custom even with old drivers, as in the ones that promised no frame repeats never seemed to work (probably my fault), but creating a custom one always did.

With the latest drivers (last good few, even the ones with the seemingly locked 23.976), I cant get any joy at all. Same as Manni01 and others.

Strange how some have success, wonder where the difference lies ?

Back to 390.77 and all is well again anyway.

FSE working here.

@madshi, we can get "transfer=2048" for file name tags?
even without meta data for the HDR, it will just have to guess what the tonemapping should be.

Are you sure that you enable automatic fullscreen exclusive mode under madVR settings?

Yep, OSD showing D3D11 Exclusive 10 bit.

[Sunset1982]

Since I changed my GPU from GTX1070 to AMD's RX480, my tv show a "no signal" message, when the gpu switches tv mode from 60hz to 23/24hz mode or hdr mode. Seems like the amd needs a bit more time to change modes. The GTX1070 chenged a bit faster and no message was shown.

Is there any option within madvr to reduce switching time ? (maybe I will try Windowed and FSE modes...

Anyone with a LG Oled and AMD gpu got the same problem using madvr's auto display changing?

[Klaus1189]

I use also an AMD RX480 but I have a Samsung HDR screen and I don't get a "no singal" message.

Some people can. Some people dont. Im not risking it. I need windows 10 on this mini pc because support for previous windows doesnt exist. 7th generation SOB. Windows 10 previous fall update is OK with madvr FSE mode. It works like a charm on intel uhd 600. So im not risking updating for getting some unknown security updates losing FSE in the process.

They keep telling me you have to update. For WHAT?? I use it as htpc ONLY.

To be fair they don't know that ?

Excuse my ignorance but what is the point in FSE, I never use it, if its for stopping notifications and it is only used for HTPC, what would you get notifications from.

I don't use it myself and don't think I'm any worse for it, sure I saw Warner write somewhere that it is fake FSE in Windows 10 anyway, but could be wrong.

Other than that you may still have something setup wrong.

other than general settings these are the only other prerequisites I am aware of with AMD cards.

- is you OLED setup in MADVR as 10bit or higher?
- do you have use Direct3D 11 for presentation (windows 7 and new) ticked - this is required.

Mine also stops working if either of these are not applied.

I'm going mad..... I'm quite sure after your post I've updated to 18.8.1 and tested ..but again yesterday night i got no hdr switch...i went back to 18.2.1 and working as expected..... without any changes in madvr config.....

there is any log that i can look at, to try to understand what's going on ?

thank you

You arent a FSE believer. You need to see it to understand that some people without it get all kind of banding and blurring you wont get with fullscreen exclusive mode because it will disable anykind of postprocessing stuff your screen is doing. For me FSE mode almost like cleanup the image. The PQ seems more detailed and smooth. Yeah, my eyes can detect that stuff. Windows 10 and probably all windows enable certain feautures than simply arent disabled when you watch a movie in fullscreen windowed mode.

thats happened to me a few times and is always been either, my TV needed a hard reboot, which it doesnt get very often as you are supposed to leave an OLED on permanently so it can do its nighly pixel cylces or something had switched in my settings and I hadnt noticed, like MADVR had switched to auto or 8 bit, DIRECT3D11 had become unticked, something like that.

I did have a similar issue though, I could have swarn 18.3.4 was working with HDR but when I tried it a while back it wasnt. i'm still on 18.8.1 as I now never change my drivers unless I need to.
