Looks like new Nvidia driver 388. is out.

+1 vote on that aspect. Profiles linked to bitrate would be excellent for RCA and RRN.

Has anyone tried it to see if it fixes HDR not turning off correctly?

I installed the Win 10 Fall Creators Update again yesterday. Older and wiser now, when the update process was finished, I re-installed my monitor drivers (hosed by the update), ran DDU and installed the new Nvidia drivers, re-booted just for the hell of it, and opened madVR. Custom resolutions were gone, of course, but I re-added them, ran Optimize successfully, and everything now works as it should.

Took me most of the evening, but at least I'm good to go for another 6 months.

Nice, crappy process. True to MS.

BTW, can you upgrade normally via windows update, or do you need some other methot as it was with 8.1? (I'm not on 10)

Users of Windows 10 should eventually get the update automatically, but they can kickstart it using the Update now button on this page.

You can also always just download the iso, mount it (Windows can do that) and run the installer.

I think it's because of the color range, but in my tv in "Pc modte47a e/HDR" it is locked. If I change the label of "Pc mode" to HDMI it works perfect bit is 422. Any idea why? The difference between 444 and 422 is visible?

This is a known bug on the C7P.

HDR is not working correctly in PC mode as it locks the display to an 8-bit mode. See more here:

Thanks, was about to try that!

Update for Pat: Thanks, Fall Creator's update working with with 385.69 (FSE disabled, but that's fine for now).

[Sarlaith]

Ps Madshi there is a bug when you create a Profile under Devices.
Every keystroke causes you to go back to the HDR screen (annoying)

[ryrynz]

He knows about it, it's a bug that's been around for a while, since I've really been the only person to mention it it's been left on the back burner.
Use copy and paste, it helps.

Type it in notepad and then copy-paste it into the profile window
Didn't know it got mentioned before tho, sorry ^^

A question for owners of 4K TVs or monitors. Does a 1080p Blu-ray upscaled with madVR look very much better than it does on a 1080p TV/monitor?

Prices are reasonable now, but I have no interest in broadcast or streaming 4K (except for baseball games), nor in UHD Blu-ray discs. Should I make the jump, or just stay with my 1080p setup?

[ryrynz]

Only make the jump if you're purchasing a screen with a better panel than the TV you already have (black level, brightness, motion resolution)
Changing the screen technology or upgrading the size will have a bigger impact on quality than anything else, OLED's are amazing..
Don't bother if you're not watching 4K or HDR content yet, but you'll want to upgrade sometime in the next few years anyway.

Is there a way of having a keyboard-shortcut to toggling on and off some of the HDR Settings in real-time? I specifically would like to be able to switch "send HDR metadata to the display" on and off without having to go into the menus.

thats subjective mate, adding a small amount of sharpening using NGU does to my eye but its negligable, only get a 4K TV if you are going to be actually watching native 4k stuff, or plan to.

Looking "better" is subjective. I'd be inclined to answer that no amount of upscaling can actually make something look "better" than the original, unscaled content. Others' opinions on the matter may differ. But I'd say that a 1080p quality screen is the best place to watch 1080p content.

Hey guys,

Just a quick one because I'm not sure and I'm losing my mind.

I have a Geforce 1050 connected to a Sony X940E to an HDMI port with full bandwidth (and the TV configured to 'enhanced HDMI' mode to enable it).

Should I be able to set my NVIDIA card to output 4k60 12bpp RGB?
I can't seem to be able to do that (only 4k60 12bpp 4:2:0) and was wondering if that's normal?

Thanks

Yes, you can use a profile group - click on your listed device > create profile group > Choose which options you want for the group (HDR) > then you can rename/duplicate the HDR group with your required settings and add a keyboard shortcut to activate between them.

Yes that's normal, the current HDMI 2.0 spec doesn't support it (4K60 RGB 12bit)
