Try the live action/film preset.
It'll give you more artifacts depending on the anime, but it should look smoother.
There's an official Windows release now. Among other things, features that are WIP are now properly disabled (instead of just not working).
I was about to say that. Mind as well integrate MPV rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Assuming the pump lasts, the water in those AIOs evaporate after a few years, and there's always a (small) risk of leakage.
The refillable, copper AIOs are nice, but expensive.
They're different artifacts.
MadVR's "ringing" artifacts come from scaling the image up or sharpening it, and usually manifest as a thin halo around sharp edges: http://photographystepbystep.com/wp-con … g-halo.jpg
The debanding just adds a bit of noise around subtle color transitions to mask the "banding" effect: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ … mple01.png
SVPs artifacts vary more and are quite different: http://www.svp-team.com/forum/misc.php? … download=0
In a nutshell, you should tune all of them to taste, depending on your current settings. MadVR's default debanding is usually fine unless you have some really weird animation, but the defining and svp artifacts should be tuned based on how much you notice them. There's no "best" setting for those.
However, I will say the ringing introduced in MadVR's better scalers is very subtle. I usually leave it off unless the source material already has ringing.

If you can't get it working, I would uninstall everything (including K-lite, LAV, MPC, MadVR, ReClock, and whatever else it installed) in the control panel programs menu. If it asks, let it clear all the settings.
Then install SVP. Check ReClock and MadVR when installing. That should get everything configured right, with the default settings.
Hey there BrucetheMoose,
Yes SVP is open, and i'll just uninstall everything, becuase, i believe in fresh starts.
I'll follow your lead instructions, but is there anything you'd like to add to that before i start?
Thanks!
Nah, that's it. Just make sure everything is uninstalled (sort by date in the control panel menu, everything close to K-Lite and SVP means it was probably installed by one of them and should be uninstalled).
Im assuming you have the free version. If you have SVP Pro, you should check MPV instead of MadVR/ReClock.

You shouldn't watch those old SVP setup videos, BTW.
The SVP installer does everything for you these days. All K-Lite is going to do is mess something up.
Anyway, if you checked MadVR in the SVP installer, it'll have a tray icon whenever a video is playing. That gives you access to a whole bunch of GPU intensive settings. If it doesn't show up, then like I said, something is messed up 
If you have a really noisy video and a big GPU, you can also do GPU denoising in real time with vaporsynth/mpc-qt. Thats harder to setup though.
Personally, I'd be looking at a used AMD card instead (which, for $100, means 7970/R9 285 territory I think). Big AMD cards tend to do much better in SVP/MadVR than their gaming benchmarks would suggest, thanks to their raw shader power and better OpenCL optimization.
If you have to go Nvidia, the 1050 is only a few bucks more. Worth it IMHO.
Is this QT better than MPC with MadVR?
SVP is faster with QT.
MadVR and MPC-QT have most of the same features. MadVR may be a bit more mature, but I've used alot of both and right now I use QT so I can use better SVP settings.
EDIT: Though I still prefer MPC-HC for low res stuff, like old 640x480 DVDs, since SVP performance doesn't really matter and MadVR had a few more scaling options to tweak.
I tried many files with 25fps and 30 and 50 and 60 but SVP doesnt change anything.
So its best to install MPC with MadVR and then just use SVP? I'll test that soon, thx.
SVP now installs everything you need. MPC, MadVR, the works. So if you downloaded them separately, make sure they're uninstalled and just let SVP install/configure everything.
If you have SVP pro and you want to be on the cutting edge, you should try MPC-QT (it's in a sticky post above this thread).
So for me it seems like SVP is working when I play a video in MPC cause my SVP profile is "active" then. However it doesnt matter if I select 50fps/60fps or 120fps, the video (in this case 25fps) plays at 25fps, nothing happens. What is the problem here?
I tried MadVR and Enhanced Video Renderer and all that. Also I only selected ffdshow raw video filter in external filters nothing else. So whats the problem here? Why does SVP seem to be active but doesnt change the FPS?
Thx
This guide is old, you shouldn't be using it. No codec packs or anything, just uninstall everything and install SVP with the MadVR check box ticked and everything should just work.
And the source isn't interlaced/telecined is it? Are you trying to play a DVD or something?
It's not so simple now, unfortunately

You cant set 2D / UVD clocks higher than the values stored in BIOS (these limitations are intentional, without these limits powerplay would go nuts...)
Really is amazing though... you can have a DirectX game in the foreground, a modded BIOS, an OC program forcing constant voltage, clockblocker open in the background etc, and it still downclocks the GPU for DXVA decoding.
EDIT
You were right, disabling DXVA does the trick. Thanks.
probably turn off DXVA decoding
Already tried in MPC-QT and MPC-HC, doesn't help
It's not a GPU usage issue either. I messed with MadVR and got it to 99% usage, forced constant voltage in afterburner, still won't budge an inch.
A few driver versions ago, my 7950 started downclocking to a max of 850Mhz during video playback, no matter what kind of load it's under.
Unfortunately, this isn't enough for SVP at 1440p/96hz... I can't even use MadVR now, and with MPV/MPC-QT I'm getting a few framedrops at very low settings (whereas I get none when I disable GPU acceleration).
Other than afterburner (which isn't working), what do ya'll do to force 3D clocks during video playback?
Yeah DSPlayer uses MadVR by default.
Under settings, try switching everything to DXVA. That should put the least stress on your GPU, in theory.
If you switch video players, try the MPC-QT testing build from the sticky post in this forum first.
AMD's older "large" GPUs (Fury, 390X, 290, 280X, 7950, 6970 etc) are all great for MadVR relative to their price. They have more raw shader grunt than their gaming-equivalent Nvidia (and AMD) counterparts, which is exactly what MadVR needs.
Vega should fall into that same category, theoretically. Though that's kinda overkill, as a Fury is easily enough for current displays.
Or better yet, check the 10 bit option in SVP and use the MPC-QT build from the sticky post. It has a whole bunch of HDR/color space settings.
So, will these builds be an option in the SVP 4 Pro manager soon? Or are we waiting on official builds?
Also, if you have pro, using MPC-QT from the sticky post instead of MadVR will save you 15%-20% CPU.
WASAPI maybe? If you have MPC customized at all, it could be playing in exclusive mode (which shuts down everything else intentionally).
Also, your GPU can only accelerate so many videos at one time. The limit probably depends on drivers and the hardware itself, but as you said, disabling hardware acceleration is a good temporary fix.
Love this player!
But the UI says I'm getting dropped frames with SVP on. MPC-QT and SVP quality settings don't seem to matter, only happens with SVP on... Gonna investigate some more, maybe the videos I'm watching are just screwed up.
3.0 -> 3.8 @1.2V on all 8 cores sounds good enough for me
It already boosts to 3.7 though. And I think those are good chips, as SiliconLottery's 3.8ghz bin has a guaranteed voltage of 1.376V:
https://siliconlottery.com/collections/ … s/1700a38g
The 1700 isn't bad though, no... But the rest are clocked very close to their voltage wall, kinda like the 7700k and the later Phenom IIs.
