Sorry I didn't figure it out sooner. Kind of odd though as it can handle with ease Bicubic and Lanczos on battery.

Can anyone confirm that? Is there a workaround?
How about creating a 3D profile for media player (which uses madVR) application ?

Set it to "performance" + "VSync ON", and disable all other AA / texture filtering options, etc...

The recent nVidia GPU driver since 304.xx adaptively controls the GPU's frequency depending on measured loading. The driver does not 100% honor the OS power management settings any more. This behavior is described in the driver's release note.


To be honest, I cannot tell the difference between Lanczos3_AR and Jinc3_AR on 1280x720 anime content with 1920x1080 10-bit output signal to Sony 65HX920. (with super-resolution 50% , SBR on)

Yeah and the manual mentions a fan too :/

Anyway, you can get OLED for a grand right here right now and it natively supports 720p@24Hz too: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1426822/

It's a high end broadcast monitor, not a consumer-grade display.

These are terrible - the only thing they do well is 3D, and they require modification to be comfortable.

Good to know you figured out the issue artios, turned out to be more simple than we thought. I have one more question for everyone, this I'm really lost since I have no idea what could cause it.

"I cant seem to get the "CUVID Hardware/GPU Deinterlacing" to work. I set it to "Enable Adaptive HW Deinterlacing" and set it to the "50p/60p (Video)" option as well as enabled "high-Quality Processing". I'm running a Nvidia 670 so i know it is not a horsepower issue. I more want to just see if the video playback is smoother since it ups the videos to 60fps. Anyone know how to get this working?"

I know any sort of hardware acceleration won't work with 10-bit, but it doesn't really seem to be the case there, so I'm also asking for directions in that one. Any help is appreciated as always. Oh- I also did a search in the forum and around Google before asking, so I'm fairly confident this is a "new" issue. Both of them are using KCP pack which has madVR (0.86.1), LAV Filters (0.55.3), and MPC-HC lite.

Anyone able to save images in MPC-HC with this version of MadVR? I am using latest LAV filters too. All I get is a blank image. I have to switch to EVR to cap a still. Overlay is unticked btw (read back a bit).

Nvidia latest drivers and GTX560Ti

That happens when you have smooth motion turned on and view the video with no scaling (100% zoom). Resizing the player window or turning off smooth motion should allow you to take screenshots until this bug is fixed.

I saw there was a discussion a few pages back about the most power friendly setup for madvr, but what about lav set to intel quicksync while using a discrete graphics card to handle the upscaling?

I ask because the stupid intel integrated graphics causes blue screens a lot if I turn off my tv since the dummy monitor then takes over and doesn't know what to do when I turn the tv on. This has been an ongoing issue through several drivers, different versions of windows installs and several clean ones at that.

If using dxva is better, then I may just turn off the integrated graphics altogether. Does anyone know?

With the DXVA-compatible MPEG-2 / H.264 interlaced streams, everything just works fine on my mini-pc server's ION chipset. (Win7x64, GeForce 314.07, LavFilter 0.55.3, madVR 0.86.1, MPC-BE 1.1.0.1b2172)

Although it is not HW limitation, I don't think the CUDA deinterlacing function can be independently used while CUDA video decoder is NOT used. Just curious if nVidia CUDA SDK actually allows it or not...

Hmm. I guess that would make sense for a certain perspective. Thanks for input.

I can't imagine running 2 GPUs being power efficient.

this makes sense for really powerfull gpu using dxva on an 680 gtx resultants in a high power state while normal madvr scailing is not that demanding and the gpu stays a a lower powerstate.

the igpu is allways very low even under full load.

CUVID will do this, DXVA should not. (note: you should use copy-back, not native DXVA)

DXVA forces the GPU into (at least) medium power state, iirc.
Might be GPU dependent.

I would love option to lock my GPU on medium power state. It works great with DXVA, but I don't want to use DXVA... and without it GPU runs in full power which is highly power consuming ;|

You can do that using nVidia Inspector I think (if you have an nVidia card of course). My GT430 isn't powerful enough for HD playback using CUDA unless it's in the highest power state though so it was useless for me. I use DXVA2 Native now anyway.

u can create for amd a profile with max clock people use this to force the max power state u can use this to force medium power state.

this does not work with every card my 6770 stays always at medium power state as long as dxva is in use. i don't know about other cards with the same "problem".

That's true, but I don't think the GPU will drop down into the low power (P12) state when playing videos regardless of GPU load though.
The only way I have been able to do that, is to force the card into the low power state with Nvidia Inspector, but that can cause other problems.

At least, that's what I have found when using CPU decoding and testing with very low resolution (non-demanding) videos played at 100% size. Even when GPU load is below 5%, it never drops down from the medium (P8) power state, into the low (P12) state.

You really do need to measure these things with some kind of meter though, as it's easy to assume something will lower power consumption when it may not. If the GPU is going to be stuck in the P8 state regardless, it might be more efficient to use DXVA than QuickSync - even if QuickSync should technically be more efficient than DXVA decoding.

If CUVID forces your video card into the full power (P0) state unnecessarily, then it may actually be more efficient to use CPU decoding for example. (though I would recommend DXVA)

Why is it that you don't want to use DXVA?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll order a kill-a-watt and test it directly and let everyone know how it turns out.

Interesting, I tested out the CPU vs GPU decoding yet again, and my result was, since I mostly play 720p upscaled, it makes little difference and that CPU decoding has a slight edge. I balanced out my upscaling settings with Jinc+Jinc instead of Jinc+Bicubic as a result

Well, I have AMD GPU L3.1 is completely broken and generally DXVA is not stable as software decoding.
