So, on my never ending quest for the best quality playback possible, a question for you folks. On another forum where I sing songs praise for madVR, some made comments that they get better PQ from Nvidia than ATI.
Now I know that we all have our preferences (I am in the ATI camp), but can anyone offer a non-biased opinion on which, if either, will produce a better picture, Nvidia or ATI. I really don't care about leveraging H/W acceleration so let's ignore that ability. However, full audio Bitstreaming is a must. I run Windows 7 and use MPC-HC/LAV Filters/madVR. Output is HDMI to a Denon receiver and on to an LG LCD TV. The TV is calibrated and data is fed to madVR yCMS. |

There are several ways to do this, but it can be done simply by blocking your normal decoder and enabling the "processing" options in madvr. I am a big fan of Software Decoding, it balances half of the work to the CPU [the decoding] and the other half to the GPU (the rendering.) And where the decoding occurs of course has no bearing on quality. thus leaving more resources on what does make a difference (i.e. MadVR's Rendering...) A couple more possibilities:
I hope this helps... |

The only better thing about nvidia is you can use LAV CUVID for decoding, but that's just so the GPU is used for decoding not anything to do with visual quality. My only suggestion to you is that you keep trying new settings in madVR, LAVF etc. |

Thank you all for the replies.
I do not overclock the card, in fact most of the control panel options are untouched and on their defaults except the video processing options where I turned off everything, but those do not apply to madVR anyway. Shaders and all are off in the player, and I do use ReClock, I used it for many years now without issues. I will have a look after I get off work of what happens to my GPU clocks during playback, but my setup is fairly standard and I do not want to resort to hacky stuff to force the card or something like that.

I do use ReClock as it should, cann't report the delta at the moment as I am away from my playback system. I am sure I am in exclusive mode, it says so in madVR stats screen. Shaders are off, along with everything else. The Decoding is done by the LAV video decoder which is the best way to decode 10bit h264 to my knowledge.

I want to autochange my display output resolution when switching to different fps material. Tried the mpc-hc's own autochange option. No matter what I try, the checkbox 'use autochange fullscreen monitor mode' keep UNCHECKING when I play a movie.....
So I found the option in madVR to autoswitch to a specific output. Does this work flawlessly? And when I play content that is a little off range (like 1920x1080@23,800 instead of 1920x1080@23,976), which does not happen often but stil, can madVR 'read' this and is it able to send out 1920x1080@23 (ATI mode for 1920x1080@23,976)? And do I just fill in 1080p23, 1080p25, 1080p29, 1080p30, 1080p50, 1080p59 and 1080p60 so that madVR picks the best one? And are there changes I need to make in my ATI CCC? Basically I m looking for a guide for this |

seeing all your questions, spread over different thread, you are looking for a manual so you can RTFM.
I'd advise you to use the search function. I have found the answers you many of your questions myself when i started using madVR. I have the feeling that you simlpy ask, and dont (or dont want to) do some of the work yourself. |

It works fine with 3D clocks for most of the people, even with the excact same GPU as you. I don't use ATI myself since the drivers usually fail in numerous of ways, but I bet you can lock madVR to use low level 3D clocks at all times it is in use, thus making it smooth. |

My career (mostly software) spans 25 years. Over that time I have seen many engineers who have stood out. These are the people that are gifted, passionate and take pride in their work. I, very much, am like that also. When I do something, big or small, I am going to take the time to do it right.
I have been following the forums where Madshi and Nevcairiel (Lav Filers author) share their stuff for a long time. What quickly became evident was that these people are of that rare breed who are technically gifted (even brilliant), passionate and take pride in their work. They do it right, no shortcuts or hacks permitted. I use their stuff happy in the knowledge that it is best in class. I know it has been done right and the results I see on my screen are evidence of this. Thanks for your passion guys, I wish we more Nevs and Madshis in the world. Edit: OOPS wrong forum hehe... Dang, too many tabs open Edit2: Guys, have a look at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...1364824&page=3 for an interesting discussion. Last edited by Boltron; 8th October 2011 at 16:33.

Make sure to enter only valid rates and make sure to turn off any other rate changer like the one in MPC-HC. Check out http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146228&page=362 |

EDIT: found a way through AMD Overdrive profiles. No effect to my problem, something else is causing it.

Thank you for clearing that up. You're greatly missed.
