Saw this in a madvr guide, is it really true?

"The sharpness of the algorithm used in chroma upscaling section should not exceed the sharpness of the algorithm used in the image upscaling section. It could be the same, but not exceed it."

time to move to the next guide or better your eyes.

super XBr 150 is a fine chroma scaler but for luma i would not use 150.

bilateral sharp and reconstruction sharp are very sharp chroma scaler i highly doubt any other image scaler is as "sharp" even through it is hard to compare but chroma is usually very blurry and a sharp chroma scaler can be a really good choice.

Like NGU AA, NGU Sharp, NGU Standart?

I'm talking about upscaling only, not image doubling.

that's more complicated and "image doubling" is "removed" many months ago. just to be clear NGU is a x2 or x4 scaler liek super XBr.

it is not a good idea to use NGU very high on chroma but NGU low on image scaling.

you should always put more processing power to luma than chroma but that has little to nothing todo with sharpness and more about general quality.

That's good, my scaling ratio is 1.5 tho, I'm upscaling to 2560x1080p.

I think that statement is wise advise to follow, but everyone has their own preferences. Sharper chroma can result in more pop in the picture, some might think this is essentially helping to recreate the vibrancy of lost chroma but I think that is a touch misguided. I prefer the chroma to match the luma's appearance and have settled on NGU AA (anything but VH ideally) as a result which IMO looks quite natural.

I kinda like NGU-AA too, will make some tests.

What system platform are you using?
VRAM can definitely be limiting with 4K, but I have a 1050 Ti and I also have issues like you do with DXVA CB or CUVID with 4K, it's barely reaching 40 fps compared to 180 with DXVA Native. The PCI Express interface utilization never goes above 15% so that's not the problem, NVIDIA power profile doesn't change anything either even when set to Prefer High Performance.
I guess it's my platform that is limiting the bandwidth between system RAM and graphics card (Core 2 with DDR2)

If automating custom resolution creation and optimization is possible, why not doing the same for everything else with a global "let madVR decide" based on the current GPU specs and if it's on battery or not for laptops?

This is not the kind of option you can enable that easily. For most users, the best option is to use native resolution (60Hz) with smooth motion enabled (it is not enabled by default because it has certain cost on GPU ressources).
Using 24Hz depends on the display panel. madVR would have to have a database of all screens ID to choose for users: it is impossible.

I think a more realistic way to implement this, while still somewhat crazy, is to have a complete performance <-> quality sequence for every performance v.s. quality option. Watch the rendering times and move down the list until Xms below the frame time, then save those settings for that frame rate and resolution until the user triggers "re-tune" or something.

I would argue the this is not worth doing until madVR is feature complete, making and maintaining that list is more work the more madVR changes. However, I am sure it would be a lot of fun to discuss the ordering of that list. Is there a different list for different GPUs due to differences in the the relative performance impact of each option?

Also, you still have to leave smooth motion and refresh rate up to the user.

This should be part of a "proper" installer, not really inside madVR.

Is it still the weekend in Germany? No new madVR build.

Sorry, I need a bit longer, had a busy week. Maybe in 1-3 days, or maybe next weekend, don't know for sure.

What's wrong? Is it about custom resolutions?

Just be patient and let him work. Every minute he responds to you is a minute less he has to spend on madVR awesomeness.

Huhn it sounds like you prefer bilateral sharp or reconstruction sharp, stating they maybe the two best for chroma upscaling... my question is.

Im currently using Nnedi 128 for chroma and NGU sharp High for luma on a very large 145" diag. screen with the JVC X9500. My render times are 19.80ms for BDs upscaling everything to 4K, using the 1080Ti card.

Someone else said that bilateral sharp or reconstruction sharp probably give the most pop when used for chroma upscaling, I like that idea. Im going to try them out but I dont understand what the different settings do...

e.g. Reconstruction has soft, sharp, placebo, sharp AR, placebo AR, which do you think is better to use in this case?

Which one do you prefer bilateral sharp or reconstruction sharp?

Many thanks...

Waste of processing power imo. Switch to 64 neurons or NGU AA. High setting is best bang for buck.
Have you compared chroma upscalers at all?

ryrynz, Is NGU sharp is used for chroma upscaling, is it as sharp or as good as bilateral sharp or reconstruction sharp for chroma upscaling?
