Well, NGU sharp isn't an upscaler I'd ever consider using for chroma, leave it for luma only, it's way too sharp.
The difference, well honestly just search the thread for chroma posts, there's lots of them with screenshots showing the difference.
All I can say about the both of them are that they're pretty much opposite sides of the upscaling spectrum, NGU AA (Anti-alias) is used for softer upscaling keeping edges looking natural.
NGU Sharp just goes all out on everything, both are quite advanced upscalers and offer better quality upscales than the traditional "dumb" scalers like Lanzcos, Bicubic etc.

After reinstalling my graphic drivers (NVidia Geoforce 1080) madVR is causing MPC-HC to freeze and if I click on the tray icon I get "madVR instance didn't reply properly". I'm using the latest version.

What can I do from here?

MadVR probably isn't the "cause" here, have you tried doing anything else with the graphics card? Is reinstalling the graphics driver all you did? Why not perform a system restore to before you did the reinstall?

Thank you.. I have 2 profiles in madVR one for 1080p and the other for 2160p.. I assume I will need to apply this when up scaling 1080p to 2160p? I'll give it a go and seek which I prefer as I currently have it on NGU sharp (High).. Thanks again

You really should have more profiles than that to make the most of the content you have. I recommend using one of Asmodian's profiles and changing it to suit your card.

What player should everyone use? MPC-HC (official or unoffical?) or something else (kodi, etc) x64 or x32?

Yup seen it now.. Many thanks.. Sorry to be so needy but how do I actually add this to madVR? Do I just copy and paste into the madVR folder? Thanks

Also what benefit will it provide me with respect to my current profiles as I only every have 1080p and 4K highest Bitrate movies in my library.. Not interested in 720p or lower quality movies or DVD's.

it's not adding the profiles it is replacing them. it actual replaces all your settings.

i don't know how they are packed or what ever but there will be a settings.bin in there and that file is used to replace your settings.bin

attachment need admin approval on this forum.

i don 't know what he has in it's profiles.

No benefit if you have no lower quality sources. Keep your profiles as they are.
