we don't know what is more accurate at the moment. could be heavy dynamic contrast applying by the screen in HDR mode.

You have to enable 3D manually before every playback to be sure it's on. I use a batch file launched from my iPad when I select the 3D button in iRule. It enables 3D on nVidia using MCE Controller and selects my 3D calibration on the projector. The register file added by Madshi after we had this discussion isn't enough for me, but it might work for you.
About a year ago, I noticed certain file playback turned off stereoscopic system wide for some strange bizarre unknown reason to me. HDR is particular since it never happened prior. So, I too wrote a script that launches via Kodi when starting a 3D title only via nvstlink.exe. For some reason the 3D setup in madVR isn't 100% reliable but this with that works perfectly. The registry file in madVR is only to set stereoscopic settings because NCP was having driver probs doing it at the time. I still use it.

I have been unable to get HDR content to look as good in SDR mode as it does in HDR mode, at least on my OLED TV. It can look pretty good but putting the TV into HDR mode does improve highlights, shadows too but highlights are the biggest change.
Chroma is 1/4 size of video under 4:2:0, so it would be 1080p. The separate video stream is the Dolby Vision layer, which cannot be decoded (yet).

I hope we'll be able to decode sometime in the future for better HDR.

Well I tried my hand at down scaling uhd to 1080p today. It did not go as planned. I'm not sure what settings I need to use in order to make it work smoothly with my 6 gb 1060. I think I had chroma set to ngu aa low. I tried setting HDR to SDR conversion. I did not try messing with dithering so maybe I'll try that next. My rendering times were in the mid-40s and I was dropping frames quite a bit. The quality was quite exceptional so if I can get it stable that will be a really nice thing. My ancient 3770 is probably getting a little tired LOL.

did you change your power settings to something else than optimal?

No that's set fine. I'll have to mess with it some more and see what I can come up with.

When I am watching 1080p MKV movies, what the best mode should my TV be ?

YCbCr 4:4:4 8 bit
YCbCr 4:4:4 10 bit
YCbCr 4:4:4 12 bit

RGB 8 bit
RGB 10 bit
RGB 12 bit

for 1080p I'm using the resolution changer in MadVR so it will change to 1920x1080p when it detect 1080p movie. in this resolution it changes from 3840x2160 8 bit RGB to 1920x1080 12 bit RGB.

Because windows automatically detect RGB 12 bit for no reason I can imagine by NVidia Default Color setting.
As for as it go for HDR mode the best is YCbCr 4:2:2 for 12 bit obvious reasons

I think I need to change it also for 1080p Movies and not only for HDR Movies and Games.

full range RGB is the best if your end device support it properly. this counts for HDR too.

10 bit can be better if your Tv properly support it so jsut stick to RGB and get to 10 bit if possible.

send 12 bit doesn't give you any with the current madVR version madVR it self is limited to 10 bit output to the GPU driver.

I use:
SDR: RGB 8 bit
HDR: RGB 12 bit (my drivers do not offer a 10 bit option)

RGB is ideal for madVR. Technically the GPU using RGB 10 or 12 bit with madVR set to 10 bit is the highest quality mode with madVR. For the few HDR demos that are over 30 fps I used RGB 8 bit (due to the limits of HDMI 2.0) but it required tricking the drivers to get HDR on with 8 bit output.

Yes, that's what the TV or NVidia drivers decide to choose when you change resolution.

For HDR NVidia decide something wrong as I tested the last time, that's what I am trying to understand if it's the same for SDR because I'm also changing resolution and it's not 4K . it's like totally big mess. because they are 2 different things and they both doesn't work out of the box.

the HDMI is set to PC INPUT all the times , so Chroma 4:4:4 is enabled when NVidia is set to AUTO (Default Color setting) for 4K or 1080p without HDR.
When I'm using my TV in 4K 3840x2160 it uses 8 bit RGB.
When I watch 1080p using 1920x1080 resolution it changes to 1080p 12 bit RGB.
When I watch HDR it is 4K 3840x2160 10 bit RGB Which the last time we checked caused issue. ( White pixels on black screen ) which was fixed when changing in NVidia specific to YCbCr 4:2:2 10 bit.

So what you saying is it's ok to use RGB for SDR so it seems ok whichever bit it wants to use , MadVR uses 10 bit anyway, so again it won't hurt in that matter so we are fine

"Current driver 390.x"? I don't see 390.x drivers on Nvidia's homepage. If you got them from somewhere, it might not be the official 390 release yet?

I think what huhn wants to say is "Nvidia HDR is broken with current driver, 390.x (future version) is supposed to fix that issue."

If you're downscaling to 50% or less you could try enabling the "scale chroma separately, if it saves performance" option in the "trade quality for performance" tab. That will make it just use the chroma data as-is and only downscale the luma channels (instead of first upscaling chroma, then downscaling everything together). The result might be slightly worse overall but I doubt it will make much difference, and it should be much faster.

Thanks I'll add that to the list for when I get back to testing later today.

@SamuriHL With my 1050 Ti @ 1920x1080, I use Lanczos 4-tap for 24-30 fps UHD, and Bicubic 150 for 50/60 fps.
I concur with Ver Greeneyes: enable "scale chroma separately", you'll gain much more by being able to use a higher quality luma downscaling than by upscaling then downscaling chroma.
