madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[oldpainlesskodi]

Hi All.

Is anyone else but me getting banding in HDR (passthrough) in Nvidia driver 430.39? tested in both DX11 and DXVA FSE and non-FSE.

Should add, Full-Full-Full and tested in both 8bit and 12bit.

Hotripper, sorry about the description. The I5 is 6th generation and yes, the problem is that sttuters but sound is ok. Thanks

I finally upgraded 385.28 to 430.39 and decided to waste a few hours trying to get custom resolutions working, I didn't succeed the first time with previous upgrades.
Any way of getting these resolutions rejected by the driver to have a chance? Or does anyone know of an edit I can make to the custom res that's likely to give me what I want? Cheers.

Can this improved if I overclock my card?, what is the best that I can do with my RTX 2070 card?. Thanks in advance for your input.

GPU Driver ? What player ? Madvr version ? Other settings used (upscaling refinement... ?) ?

OSD screenshot ?

It's not normal anyway. My GTX 1070 can upscale 1080p to 2160p with NGU AA High (Chroma) and NGU Sharp High (Luma) without a hitch.

I personnaly couldn't make custom res work flawlessly on both my displays (LG C8 and Sony HW40ES) with any newer driver than 385.28, with madvr integrated tool or with CRU.

+1 (I only tried out drivers <400.xx)

Strange thing I have found is the TV plays a big part, something I was not aware of, I can create one in the NCP no problem since I got a Phillips 4K TV.

I use CRU with the settings below and get 1 repeat frame in 6-8 hours plus.

Hope it helps.

never heard of anyone getting 6-8 hours on an NVIDIA card, thats impressive, unheard of even, you wont get that with 3D though mate.

Thats not exactly hard to do with a custom resolution, assuming your TV is flexible enough to accept it.

Indeed, I have 3 days with a custom res for my 1050ti

[mclingo]

true, in MADVR it very easy, just not so easy setting customs on the card itself with all the losses with various driver versions after rebooting, very annoying. I never had to do that though with my 1050, I could just set it in MADVR and I got 1-2 hours, maybe one drop per movie which is very good. I only gave up the 1060 and my 1050 as 3D was a total sh!t show.

If your not a gamer and dont need vast amounts of shader processing power in MADVR there is zero reason at all to get an NVIDIA card and quite a few reasons not to

Found this as well when setting up with my Sony HW40ES projector. Some displays are more flexible than others.

Madshi says so in his tutorial page :

Unfortunately there's a catch to this whole concept: While finetuning the pixel clock is something that virtually any display will accept without hesitation, using different "back porches" is a gray area. Some displays will accept slighly modified back porches, others might not. In my experience there's a good chance it will work for most displays, but there's no guarantee. It's also somewhat of a "trial and error" approach, because it's hard to predict which combinations of back porches the display might like or dislike. So it's quite possible that you'll try some modes which don't work (the display will likely simply go black or report a non-supported mode).

Was never a fan of 3D, hence my choice of display. Big fan of projectors however, but, we moved recently.....now, if only I can convince the wife to move again to a place with a basement.....

I get similar drop/repeat times with a resolution tuned by madVR too, hardly unheard of.

But I have never tried turning 3D, none of my displays support 3D anymore anyway.

This is what I got from Cyberlink about the 3D... it's lost , so if we want to watch 3D we need to go back to 425.


Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.

We understand that you want to know how to watch 3D movies with PowerDVD 17. We are more than willing to assist you.

With reference to your query, please be advised that the GPU manufacturer NVIDIA has removed the 3D playback feature (NVIDIA 3D Vision) from their GPU products, effective on the new driver version 430.39.

It will revoke the 3D video/image playback function and compatibility completely on the GPU hardware, and disable CyberLink PowerDVD for playing 3D videos/images with 3D effects accordingly.

The software player (PowerDVD) cannot reversely operate the 3D video playback function via the GPU hardware because the 3D playback function has been removed directly on hardware/hardware driver level.

To continue using the 3D playback feature on user's NVIDIA GPU platform, please reinstall the GPU driver to previous version 425.31 or earlier versions from NVIDIA driver page.

Please feel free to contact us back for further clarification or assistance related to CyberLink Products. Use the link below to get back to us.

EDIT : I just though about an idea , with windows 1903 we could just make Windows Sandbox and just have the 425 driver. is the Windows Sandbox will be like Fresh windows ? Or the driver will be installed, cause then we just need to install 425 and PowerDVD ... hmmm it will be still work to do.

I dont know if this will work for you but it is the best solution to the stuttering I was experiencing. I believe there is an issue with the 2070 as I have no issues when I put the 970 back in.

Try to set LAV to DXVA2 copyback. Set exclusive mode to 1 screen presented in advanced. Assuming you have FSE enabled and Display matching on. I noticed the stuttering was also happening with EVR not just Madvr. So for EVR I use CUVID and it gives very smooth playback and almost indistinguishable to madvr picture with non-hdr content. However just because this works for me doesnt mean it will for you. Let me know how it goes.

I haven't noticed any banding with the new driver, or any driver, really. That's with 8-bit, of course. Some content will have banding, regardless, and for that I use madVR's debanding on low/low. Pretty much a "set it and forget it". I use DX11/windowed FS.

@oldpainlesskodi

BTW, what's the (430.39 quadro mod) mentioned in your sig?

[Tpain145]

Can anyone with a vizio tv help me out. I want to buy a vizio tv but I read that 480p and 720p upscaling are very bad with those tvs. I was wondering if I let madvr do the upscaling from 480p and 720p to 4k will it look good or will vizio bad internal scaler kick in and 480p and 720p will look bad no matter what madvr does. Can someone comment on their experience with vizio 480p and 720p upscaling.

Yeah, but really never seen banding so pronounced before as with this driver in HDR (tried both Geforce and Guadro variants - both the same on my rig).

anyways, I'm not adding to the debate of Geforce VS Quadro drivers...but, all I will say is Quadro are deigned for bit perfect color pallets.

Instructions on how to install included in the zip (no need to do anything other than follow the instructions, as it's a modded .inf)
