In my specific case, where I'm desperately seeking for a way to update Kodi DSPlayer to more recent builds... the prospect seem really interesting.
I currently am in a 1080p configuration. GTX660, 1080p plasma screen.
This year is most likely the year I'll switch to 4K OLED. I would need to change video card. Now, with a regular "HTPC approach" I would need to buy, say, at least a GTX 1060. And probably, to get the best out of madVR I might decide to fork out more money for a RTX2060.
If madVR Envy does what I hope it does, I might decide to buy a GTX 1030, for simple decoding purposes, and then offload all the video processing to Envy. Kodi does allow now for whitelisting resolutions and I could output unscaled and let madVR Envy handle everything.
madVR quality, Kodi updated builds, problem solved.
