What about the new Radeon 7. Any madvr lifts reported on the new architecture ?

Its not "new", its the same architecture as Vega.

Annnnd, Vega was a no-improve on NGU ?

Does the user snowknight have the vega 56 or 64 ?

With the new rig I'm getting stuttering in full screen in every configuration I could think of. I basically tried everything. From the decoder to the renderer to the OS. In every configuration I got excellent to decent average render times (10 ms). The problem is the max render time which is very high (usually above 60 ms). I could be wrong but with the old rig I don't think I ever experienced such bad max render times. What is weird is that I have no dropped frames. I'm kinda limited with drivers because RTX is not supported with old drivers. I tried to install the one I think I was using before but it cannot be done.

It would be great if you had any kind of idea. 1080p playback is barely okay but UHD playback is just not watchable at the moment. In the past everything was running smooth with 3D LUT, HDR tone mapping and even some upscaling/zoom control. Something's really off but aside from the max render times, all looks good to me.

Thanks.

sounds like my situation minus the render times. backup your madvr folder and reset settings to default and rebuild your profiles see if that fixes it.

My config : I7 7700 + RTX2070, last Windows, last MadVR, last Nvidia drivers.

I tried also almost everything. Sometimes FSE works, sometimes not (I don't know why!)

The stangest thing is that if, with the mouse, I show the seek bar, or show contextual menu (right clic), no sluttering at all !!!

Work also very well (no sluttering) if I press the Windows key on my keyboard…

It looks like it works only if there is another layer in front of my movie...

-1050ti 4gb
-HDR passthrough
-NGU AA med
-D3D11 FSE
-all trade quality for performance unchecked
-smooth motion off
-gpu/cpu queue size 12
-presenting 8 frames in advance
-nothing under "processing" folder turned on
-win10
-390.77
-ryzen 5

I am probably using the terms "freezing" and "crashing" too loosely here so let me clarify.

When I am watching something like Planet Earth II the image will freeze on the screen but the sound keeps playing fine. Only way for me to fix is to restart MPC.

Not sure if that changes anybody's opinion about what my problem is but wanted to be more specific. I haven't tried watching unclocked yet but will soon.

You have the GPU not using "Optimal Power" in 3D Settings? Don't use FSE. Do you have a Gsync or Freesync display? Also make sure Windows 10's Focus Assist is completely disabled, including the other options on that config page, even though they don't seem like they would cause problems they do seem to.

Windowed Overlay is also something to try.

Sorry if you already tried those.

Hiya m8's

I'm having an absolutely infuriating time with MPC-HC and Mad VR, no matter what combinations of options I use (default, fullscreen, windowed etc...) the moment I try to match my display (lg c7 + rtx 2080) with the source, I get crazy jitters, however when I don't match the display it jitters a tad but it's more bearable to watch, any reason why matching the display with source would cause the jitters? I've tried with adaptive, optimal and max power (gpu wise) too

Do we have a table of On-Off features for optimal Madvr performance ?

So we WANT -optimal power- ?

and

DO NOT Want -focus assist-

[Asmodian]

No, we DO NOT want Optimal Power or Focus Assist, both cause hitching without the average rendering times being too high.

We should really get these basic and often posted troubleshooting answers stickied.. Could just create a registry file to make it easy for these to be set also.

GDI, so we want prefer maximum performance ?

Or just u know, like the driver recommendation thread.

No, Adaptive is the preferred option.

[Asmodian]

I like adaptive myself, it clocks all the way down pretty fast, but not so fast as to ever disturb madVR.

However, anything besides Optimal Power works fine.

Is 419.17 bugged again with 10bit HDR ? it only uses 8 bit windowed mode and Full Screen does newest driver fix it ? 419.35 ?

Looking back on your posts the majority seem to be about newer drivers and HDR.

If you do not need the newer drivers for Games etc. stay with whats working, and also drivers after 398.11 are sending the wrong HDR metadata either way.

Not sure what you mean here, its a setting under rendering->general settings. You can enable it even when using multiple monitors. I had gone through the whole cycle of fresh windows, old/new versions of drivers/madvr/lav, adaptive power in nvidia, turning off game mode+focus assist etc etc. The only thing that fixed it for me was fullscreen exclusive mode. Been using it for about 6 months now without any significant issues.

Works fine for me on 419.35 (and 419.17). I use default color settings on nvidia cp. It goes into 8bit hdr if its 4k@60, otherwise goes into 12bit which I have confirmed with my receiver.

In fact everything related to bit depth is working well for me now. For normal 1080p23, 2160p23 files I get 12bit output and 4k@60 (for normal desktop usage) I get 8bit.
