Anything below the 3080 doesn't really have enough ray-tracing performance for current / later games.

That's the gaming aspect.

If Madvr is the deciding factor, we simply do not know what's coming or if anything is coming at all, it's impossible to base purchase decision on it.

That's an IPS monitor. Don't watch movies on an IPS monitor, it's a waste of time, and disrespectful to Cinematographers.

it has 1200:1 contrast, at its peak brightness, 380nits, the black point is 0.32 nit. For even remotely acceptable shadow detail, you need somewhere around 0.05nit blackpoint.

HDR movies basically look like giant grey blobs on IPS.

It's the cinema projector experience at home! Just need to get very close to the screen!
More seriously, if that's the only display you have it's still better than not watching movies at all.

@laz1989 you need to add more information: OS version, driver version, settings used in madVR (bit depth, presentation settings, etc.), does it work if you switch HDR manually in Windows beforehand?

Agree it's better than nothing. Arguably still better than projectors which have at best 300-500:1 Ansi in professional outlets.

The other option is calibrate IPS to 60nit peak, watch HDR movies in the closet.

It works on Netflix, it works on ffmpeg but not on DirectShow.

Post a screenshot of madVR's OSD during playback (Ctrl+J) on an external image hosting site.
Are you using the latest version of LAV Filter?

Yes, I installed windows a few days ago when I did the rig.
I tried also with D3D11 at begin on Lav Filter after that I switched to DCXA with same result.

Very true. I am not interested in ray-tracing but I care about
parallel computing and shaders for madvr. To get more out of madvr. One member once wrote that madvr is deprecated. I think he is right. I have looked at the Envy proposition and I think that madvr is history. Litofsky is not interested in us, in this segment, and he will not allow any development in madvr. Sure we should ask him to be sure. I feel sad and I am not alone here.

Anyway, madvr is still doing a great job.

Good to hear that there is a recent beta. This doesn’t mean it is not deprecated. I can’t find the beta in this thread nor on Madshi’s website. It’s still version 0.92.17 to me. What is the purpose of these betas, have we become solely guinea pigs for Envy? When can we expect version 0.93.0? Can the first page of this thread refer to the betas? These questions float in my mind.

It’s just my perception and I am hoping for the good old days when new versions are announced. Otherwise, I would appreciate a business model that makes envy affordable for us, instead of trying and discussing betas.

madshi is only active at AVS these days. This is the thread with the ongoing development: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/imp...ector.2954506/ - It focuses almost exclusively on HDR-to-SDR tonemapping. You can find the latest beta here: http://madshi.net/madVRhdrMeasure114.zip - If you need older betas, simply replace the last digit(s) in that link, i.e. *113.zip.

Good to hear that there is a recent beta. I will check it out.

I have replaced my RX 480 for a GTX 1080 and it works good. I need to do more testing this weekend.

You mean the last 2 years, right?

Unfortunately Disney didn't think would be important to put my country on their map aswell.
And as Star Wars fan, I would cut one of my balls to watch anything releated.
I'm not sure why this has something to do with that but if you wanted to know, that's it.

Check in madVR config => rendering => trade quality for performance if "don't measure HDR frame peak luminance" maybe is checked and uncheck it if it's the case.
Also try disabling HDR in the OS and let madVR do the switching using AMD's API.
I have no other ideas.
