madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

Keep a copy of that folder but do test madvr set with defaults also.

-1050ti 4gb
-HDR passthrough
-NGU AA med
-D3D11 FSE
-all trade quality for performance unchecked
-smooth motion off
-gpu/cpu queue size 12
-presenting 8 frames in advance
-nothing under "processing" folder turned on
-win10
-390.77
-ryzen 5

I recently upgraded from a 1050 myself, but I found bringing the Q sizes down made it more stable for frame drops and the likes, but I never had crashes, this does sound more hardware orientated with overclocking as has been said. Something like 8/4/4 helped, I do have to say though upgrading to a used 1070 has changed everything, I am finding I am putting everything on high just to push it, having 8GB instead of 2GB onboard memory makes all the difference as well in my case.

Do you guys use anti-bloating filter (100%) with downscaling SSIM 1D 100%?

Crashes always indicate system instability. A system that cannot keep up with madVR just drops frames but should not crash.
Also, a system that plays smooth at the beginning of a movie for a few minutes but starts dropping frames later is not because madVR settings are too high but because system components are thermal throttling or not keeping up with buffering (problems with storage/network).

Hello,

So I just finished to setup my new rig and I'm really struggling to get back madVR playback to what it was before. I went from a GTX 1080 to an RTX 2080 Ti and from an i5 6400 to an i9 9900k. With the new rig I'm getting stuttering in full screen in every configuration I could think of. I basically tried everything. From the decoder to the renderer to the OS. In every configuration I got excellent to decent average render times (10 ms). The problem is the max render time which is very high (usually above 60 ms). I could be wrong but with the old rig I don't think I ever experienced such bad max render times. What is weird is that I have no dropped frames. I'm kinda limited with drivers because RTX is not supported with old drivers. I tried to install the one I think I was using before but it cannot be done.

It would be great if you had any kind of idea. 1080p playback is barely okay but UHD playback is just not watchable at the moment. In the past everything was running smooth with 3D LUT, HDR tone mapping and even some upscaling/zoom control. Something's really off but aside from the max render times, all looks good to me.

Thanks.

Try older drivers first.

.

There's nothing to screen shot

The settings in my previous post is on the latest test build with the new HDR tweaks which are (more heavy, by 5-9ms) than the 92.17 official release.

They're set for 24p material, output to 4K TV, 24 cpu queue, 16 gpu

I tweaked each of the settings up until avg rendertime reach ~30-37ms/

(this is purposeful) such that it will not skip frames.

If the average was pushed closer to 41, then the peaks much greater than 41 may cause dropped frames.



This is a 6gb evga 1060 ftw+, 2.1ghz core 9ghz vram

Hi Everyone,

I have exactly same issue. What driver number do you suggest?

My config : I7 7700 + RTX2070, last Windows, last MadVR, last Nvidia drivers.

I tried also almost everything. Sometimes FSE works, sometimes not (I don't know why!)

The stangest thing is that if, with the mouse, I show the seek bar, or show contextual menu (right clic), no sluttering at all !!!

Weird issue, enabling BBD on latest test build causes significant performance loss on 4K HDR remuxes. Without BBD it runs fine.

If that doesn't work

There was also someone else who reported that Windows updated something recently which caused refreshrate mis-mash of some sort which caused stutter in madvr.

Thanks,

I just read all the topic mensioned, and I didn't found any recommended driver for RTX cards...

Sorry but what is BBD?

At 60 Hz it runs smooth aside from the frame repeat every 40 sec. With Smooth Motion on I think I can live with it. Probably some kind of driver issue. Stuttering is occuring with auto framerate and 23-24 Hz material.

Most don't based on what I've seen. These are all personal choices..
Who cares what other people run with minor settings such as these? I'd never blindly set options without evaluating their results..
Your opinion is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

with SM the number is still calculated but it should never happen.

Did madshi ever explain why Nvidi is better at NGU ?

[huhn]

no he didn't he was pretty disappointed when in my performance report form a RX 480 back then and it's not like you look at the code and know why. and NGU isn't generally better with nvidia is just that polaris has problem with it.

[Betroz]

Long time since I've been in here, so may I ask if Madshi has stopped development of MadVr for the time beeing? It's been over 5 months since version 0.92.17 came out now.

[ryrynz]

You should've used search before asking this, he's in deep development of HDR tone mapping.
If you wish you can follow development here
This has been mentioned many multiple times, you're a semi regular here, did you forget or something?
Might see a final release in April.

I was semi regular here. Ohh sorry, I asked the same question I did 6 months ago... how rude of me

What about the new Radeon 7. Any madvr lifts reported on the new architecture ?
