- According to Tom's Hardware graphics card hierarchy, HD 4000 is only one step below the Radeon HD 6450 and three steps below the GT 430. Granted this metric is for gaming, but since madVR taxes the video card like a game would then it can be assumed that if the scaling settings perform acceptably on HD 4000 then it should also work fine on Radeon HD 6450 and GT 430 or higher.

With MS DTV-DVD decoder + madVR 0.82.5 + Bi-linear Chroma (actually DXVA2 scaling ?) + DXVA2 Luma scaling + DXVA2 deinterlace, SandyBridge Core i5-2467M (1.6GHz, Turbo Boost 2.3GHz) + HD3000 is now capable of processing 1440x1080i30 --> 1920x1080p60 FSE. I think this is an important achievement for madVR to be useful on less powerful GPU HW.
With madVR Bi-linear Luma option, there is frame dropping when the interlaced HDTV content is played.
