Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

Hello everyone. Recently I've been having some trouble getting decent performance out of madVR.
Even with all recommended "Trade quality for performance" options selected and fairly tame filtering I still get low performance (~15 fps when I should be getting at the very least 24, i.e, 10 frame drops per second).

Are my settings too high for my hardware?
Is there some hidden config I forgot to check?
Is it the drivers or the display settings?

My bulid: ~2-3 year old ASUS gaming laptop with

MPC-HC with LAV, madVR, CCCP, XYsubfilter and ASSmod (because they don't always both work)
i7-6700HQ @ 2.60 GHz
GTX 960 (4 GB)
16 GB DDR4 RAM
1TB HDD and 128GB SSD
Windows 10

Probably useful info:

The player uses up nearly all of my GPU's time (yes, the dedicated GPU) but not so much the CPU
Most of the GPU usage is for 3D (and a little bit for decoding)
I have Vsync enabled but it doesn't seem to improve performance at all
Integrated Graphics don't do anything (can't use both GPU's at once for the same thing)
I use madVR mostly for files with resolutions lower than 720p, so a decent chunk of the render time goes to upscaling
Render time is fairly low at the start of the video (20ms render time for like 3 minutes) but then quickly jumps to 70ms where it stays until I reboot my PC. This makes me believe it's not really an issue of my hardware not being good enough to use these settings with good performance.
The render queue is always nearly empty (1-2/24) and the decoder, subtitle and upload queues are always pretty much full (23-24/24)
The player should take at most 1/24 ~ 42ms for rendering each frame (else it drops frames like crazy [~10 per second])

Here's a link to my madVR and LAV settings.

Also if someone knows how to display more text in the OSD that would be very appreciated (so I can see all render steps and post what takes more time).
