should upgrade to 4GB card, or even 4GB isn't enough
depends on the output resolution it has been over and over repeated to use 4 GB for UHD.
even 1 GB can be fine for FHD and 2 are totally fine as long as you are not changing the queue for what ever reason.

madVR SM doesn't use the CPU.
i guess the most CPU depend feature is either HDR peak brightness measurement or IVTC.

madshi ask about HDR subtitles in the github of libass and well... he was shutdown hard by one of the mpv developer that clearly doesn't want to have anything todo with HDR. so HDR subtitle handling is currently in a bad spot. so you have to hope that the ISR in MPC-BE will have a fix one day or cyberbeing is saving subtitles yet again.

what do you mean by "proper", explain your problem in detail, also where does the CPU come into this, are you not using GPU decoding?

actually my first impression was that madvr almost doesn't use CPU at all, it's so GPU-esque, we gotta go straight to 11GB memory card

Color are not so "vivid" like when i play the same video trough usb directly on the tv, or using plex.
I don't have a dedicated gpu, ryzen 5 has integrated vega 11 graphics

in HDR passthrough , the colors look a lot more like the official build.
It is definitely improved. I wouldn't confuse high saturation with HDR. That is not the intent of HDR. The old algorithm was oversaturated and overall hue accuracy is better in the screenshots I've compared against other HDR and SDR references.

Pop in the colors doesn't tell me that it is accurate. New OLEDs like the models from Sony and Panasonic render HDR images with less saturation compared to LG OLEDs because they were tuned by colorists to be color accurate. The most common complaint with the previous tone mapping was that it was too saturated.

The extra punch with HDR highlights in that build was causing artifacts and a loss of detail, so it was toned down considerably. It was maybe too much image pumping.

I think it could be an issue with current AMD drivers after the troubleshooting you've done. Does changing the color gamut in calibration change anything? It shouldn't do anything, but some AMD users find changing this setting changes the output of madVR.

Did you confirm in the madVR OSD and through the information on the TV that you are in fact playing an HDR source? Does madVR report the mastering display peak brightness in its stats?

Hi, yes, as Warner states, There is a bug with all drivers drivers since 16.8.1 which overblow the colours in movies when playing SDR content at 23hz, this isnt appearent at 60hz or HDR material or if you , is this what you are fining, is everything red and overblown?

This may only affect RX cards I cant speak for none HDR cards or Vega.

EDIT - i've logged the issue with AMD a few weeks back at the same time I logged an issue with HDR failing to toggel after 18.3.4, the fixed the HDR toggle with the latest driver, hope to see the colour issue fixed at some point.

What i'm not sure about though is whether upgrading to WIN10 1803 will fix that or not, but i'm not going anywhere near that

With color gamut you men the color depth in radeon sw or there's an option in madvr?
Sorry i m a bit noob
Here's the stat while playing a 4k hdr sample

Sorry english isn't my first language and i can't understand the meaning of the word overblow ^^'
I don't have problem in sdr, only in hdr. Color are normal, there's no red tint or strange dominant, the global iamge is only less vivid, strong, like when i play the same file with the tv internal player.

OK, so your problem is with HDR material, is it all washed out, do you have a HDR TV or are you doing a HDR to SDR conversion in MADVR?

so you are getting washed out colours but your TV is definitely switching to HDR mode, are you sure?

Press contrl+J when playing a movie and post a screen shot of your OSD

Hmm. I know most of the audience on AVS are projector owners, so they may have different requirements to people that own high nits/brightness HDR capable TV sets that prefer to let Madvr handle the tone mapping.

I have been and will continue to follow the AVS thread (lurker), but, I may end up keeping madVRhdrTestFinalColor4.zip

Used the life of pi hdr sample

I'm "sure" only because in the top right corner shows up the "HDR" box, but color are not hdr like

What does the TV information say while playing this file? Does it also report HDR?

It looks like an HDR source, although it has an odd mastering peak (1200 nits) and framerate (24 fps).

I assume you tried other files?

Try setting chroma upscaling to something besides DXVA. This is hardware scaling and could be interfering somehow.

You could check if there is anything unusual in the file by downloading MediaInfo and looking at the file contents (right click -> MediaInfo -> Text View). There is a link to the MediaInfo utility at the end of this post and a sample to show what a proper HDR source should report. It might be missing MaxCLL and MaxFALL if these values are set to 0,0, but that is not uncommon.

There is a calibration section in madVR. This only applies to SDR content, but you can try setting it to BT.2020 in off chance it fixes the colors. The code is probably unrelated, but I don't know what else would be producing the wrong colors. Improper tone mapping due to incorrect or missing metadata would be the most likely cause.

Try some other content. HDR demo material is often mastered with incorrect metadata.

The tv info also show 2160p HDR.
Yes, i ve tried lot of different file, that image was only the last one i ve used.
Chroma upscaling is NGU for all the profiles.
Mediainfo looks good
Last but not the least, yes i've tried different option in calibration, but always without change.
During all my attempt i ve also changed lot of hdmi cable, used a dp->hdmi, but always the same result

madvr's being GPU-heavy is a bit crazy, like gaming but only requires memory

EVR CP usually eats up 50MB max of card's memory while madvr uses 100% and wants more, a lot more, so hungry
