Overclocked GPU coreclock from 620 to 750 and memory clock from 1500 to 1650 (but only during gaming, not video)

As I wrote in my first post, the exclusivemode doesnt improve anything to me. I have 0 dropped frames in a 45 minutes movie without "exlusivemode" and 20 dropped frames in 45 minutes with it. Ok, its already 7 when the flickering ends and the movie finaly starts....so its only 13 during the video itself.

So, I dont have any visible difference, I even have dropped frames, I get the 3 seconds delay and a disco light performance. Why would I want that?

About framedrops and those modes:

My experience (GTX670M) so far is:

"windowed overlay" extremely reduces dropped frames for me.
while
"automatic fullscreen exclusive mode" does actually increase dropped frames for me. Only by like 20 in a 45 minutes video but its not when that mode is not active (besides that its quiet anoying how long it takes to switch between video and desktop) while the image is flickering.

Yeah, a buyed DVD maybe. Self burned DVD has a similiar lifetime than a HDD (5-10 years). Now "re-burn" 1000 DVDs by hand to a fresh one, every 5 years or copy your HDD to a new one every 5 years. Whats more easy and less expensive?

They wont last a century. CDs already start to get destroid. (thats CDs in state owned archives, that are never used but are only stored "For eternity" at perfect temperatures etc in zero light cases) They get "holes" and now they are really pissed of because they need to take care of several millions of them getting holey and beeing lost for future generations forever.....

So say goodbye to your Blue Rays in 30 years.

DVD is NOT the "real" thing. DVD use MPEG-2, wich already trades quality for file size. the real thing (compression that doesnt trade quality with size) would be about 10times the size of a DVD. It was celebrated as a miracle to have such tiny video files with almost no (visible) loss of quality.... back then, in the stone age, when MPEG-2 was invented...

For todays standarts, that compression algorithm is totaly ancient, outdated, weak compared to modern algorithms basing on MPEG-4 or others who all are able to create identical quality in much, much smaller size.
The only problem that exists is, that the source material (a DVD for example) is already compressed by a quality losing algorithm, so that a ripp of that makes it worse, but its impossible to get a hand to the raw material.

Rimsky does use these changes because it reduces artefacts.

1,5m does trades less artefacts for less (quiet a lot less) smoothness.
24 pixel grid does the same. (less artefacts, but less smoothness (almost not noticable less))
Specially thin objects like swords, staffs, guns but also prison bars, shutter blinds etc catch a lot artefacts if one uses a small grid. Larger grids reduce these problems.
24px grid does also decrease CPU load.

Maybe a piece in the puzzle:

I get a red "Out of memory" message all over the screen if I use "enable automatic fullscreen exclusive mode". I need to use it in "windowed overlay" mode.

It was a 381.82 that I tried. I used "clean install". It had strongly shuttering test line in 120Hz even, what all other drivers I tried did not have. 

I also tried 381.65 (several weeks ago, for 2 days), wich had more dropped frames than the driver I usualy use, then I went back to 306.97

The driver I usualy used all the time is: 306.97
Thats what I also use atm. It has far less dropped frames than the newer ones. Also it was better for World of Warcraft than 310, 311, 312 etc. (the 306 was released with the label: 15%-20% more performance for WOW-Pandaria, wich is pretty much the only game I play atm) wich I all tried back then and went back to 306 because it seemed that the performance boost for WOW got lost after the 306.

In other words, I use 306.97 since its release until now and it never was bad.

Ah well, something I only can tell about 120hz: madVR has a much calmer line for me than EVR-CP. I cant tell about 24Hz (no line) But I know from the look of camera pans, that it too looks quiet bad. I really need to see a "neutral" computer playing these videos. I think I try em next weekend on the PC of someone I know.

Ah time to see the doc and get me back my stereo vision. 

I did indeed after starting to use SVP. But switched it back to the old one after I realised that the newer one had about 3times as much "framedrops".
Also I uninstalled und re-installed that one yesterday. Stereomode was not activated since that installation.

I just tested it, switching on/off, no difference.

I must say, I never used that tearing test ever before. So I dont know how the line behaved in the past. I am just sure, "normal" Video did never look that jittering/jumping when camera is moving.

I tested SVp with 120FPS and then it showed
GFX laod: 38%
Video Engine: 41%

I guess that could never have been the Intel HD?

hm ok.

I used 1080p

switched a little bit around in the video file.

The highest readings:

Temp: 55
GPU Load: 13%
Memory Controller Load: 8%
Video Engine Load: 58%

Hm. Green bars.

I dont have GPU-Z at hand right now. I use MSI Afterburner (GPU Overclocking tool) instead.

First test:
SD material, 25 FPS
Renderer: EVR-cp, VSync is on
MPC TEaring Test lokks flashing, jittering.
Temperature: 52 Celsius
GPU load: 3-4%

Second.
Full HD 25 FPS
TEaring Test is flashing and moving stuttery aswell
Temp: 54
GPU Load: 8-10%

Third
720p 24FPS
tearing test apears worse, even through it should better fit into 120hz?
Temps and load no difference to Full HD it seems.

After looking at the movement of the lines I am now sure that its also in 120FPS, just 5 times as fast and I think 5 times as short distance) so that its almost not noticable.
Same is for 60 FPS converted files.

OK, let me check beamer....
Everything the same as on the laptop display.
