madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[mclingo]

Is this window mode or fse or both and how are you switching to DX9?

Yes but does mpcvr equal madvr in upscaling and sharpening...

you don't AMD need 10 bit for HDR when you use there API which DX9 can't do.

flush & wait (sleep)

I hope this works with DX11 too, at least better than the default settings. Will give it a try, thank you!

I noticed today that there is something wrong with HDR on madVR. Don't know if this is yet another OS problem, but the contrast is somehow wrong. I'm using HDR passthrough, no tone mapping. Have still use for MPCVR after all it seems.

The contrast is not good, but how?

Something brought back a very hazy memory of some talk about not using auto-HDR but rather manually change to HDR before starting the video, and lo and behold, it looks right that way. MPCVR doesn't have this problem, but on madVR it looked flat. The movie was in B&W, but I guess the colors would have looked washed out too if there would've been any.

The HDR must be managed by MadVR and not the OS (NV HDR and not OS HDR), I think this is a problem specific to your configuration.

shouldn't matter try this:

Do you notice any difference when doing this on Windows 11?
Right-click on your player .exe > Properties > Compatibility > enable "Use Legacy ICC Color Management"

This fixes an issue with MPCVR where HDR is washed out in fullscreen on some systems. I am curious if it also helps/hurts when using Madvr. Then maybe I can enable it by default for MPC-HC.

i will create a icc correction for a display and do some SDR test to get something together.

Really don't care if it is "a problem specific to [my] configuration", as I noticed yesterday something else with using OS HDR: 10 bit fullscreen actually works now! It even works with 8 bit SDR videos when it is on, though no need to use it for that content of course. Just interesting how it's fixed across the board by this method.

Legacy ICC Color Management did not fix the wonky HDR for me, but looks great with just using the OS HDR.

Silly question: we agree that the upscaling refinement section is only active during doubling/upscaling, so there is no need to create 1080p and 2160p profiles?

Upscaling refinement functions are most definitely active with 4k, have done constant fine-tuning with them for my 4k profiles (my monitor is 4k, just to be clear).

they are not but i'm not answer the same question in detail twice at two different places.
