I watch a lot of 4K HDR content.

For those of us on MPV using Vulkan, I believe we use vapoursynth and not AviSynth, is there any benefit to using this? Or does this only apply for those still using madVR?

Yep that's normal. What NVOF is doing is taking the load off the CPU and doing most of it on the GPU. So your GPU usage increases.

Which CPU do you have by the way? I am wondering why you're struggling to run 4K. What frame rate are you running it in? And what SVP settings are you using?

You're not going to have better artifact masking from how powerful a GPU is, so a 3080 Ti, 2080 Ti, 1080 Ti, 980 Ti will all perform the same on SVP.

The RTX series introduced nVidia Optical Flow, I disable it and use my own settings in SVP because even though it takes a lot of the load away from the CPU, it does introduce more artifacts compared to using my own custom settings with stock SVP.

So unless a new technology is introduced by nVidia that does better artifact masking that the SVP developers can add, or improvements to nVidia Optical Flow, then there won't be a difference with next-gen GPU's.

Motion interpolation on high-end TV's improves every year. You should always expect better detection, less artifacts, and less stuttering if you're upgrading several models. Of the 3 top OLED brands; Sony, Panasonic, and LG. Sony was famous for its motion interpolation. But seeing the reviews for this years models, they are all damn good now at motion interpolation.

Why is a multi-billion dollar company, with the resources to hire the best people in the business, and create special chips specifically designed to do motion interpolation, doing a better job than a few developers online who make this program and charge $15 for it?

Like really? Obviously high end televisions are going to do motion interpolation much better than any PC program you'll fine right now. They have unlimited resources to work on these products.

Yes your PC is a lot more powerful, but there is no multi-billion dollar company making motion interpolation software designed for PC use.

I use 50Hz, and instead of 24x2, I use "To Screen", so it runs at 50Hz. To smooth it out even more, I use mpv in fullscreen exclusive mode, and with video-sync configuration set to display-resample, these make videos super smooth for me and with less artifacts.

If you're interested in my full mpv settings, here they are below, I made the relevant configs I talked about above in bold:

RTX 2070 Super
16Gb RAM
4790K @ 4.6Ghz

And with my hardware I don't think I can run your settings. You're maxing out everything like @AutumQueen92 is saying. With your hardware this is impossible. Also even if you HAD the best hardware, this settings is not good in my opinion.

This whole time you have probably been watching with a lot of delayed frames and a lot of dropped frames. Of course it's not going to be smooth.

Here are my settings below, test them out, and disable artifact masking if you want a smoother experience:

Oh okay fair enough, thank you with the help above and allowing us to test.

I just upgraded from GTX 1070 to RTX 2070 Super yesterday. Have mostly been testing in games, but tested a couple of hours with MPV too. It would be nice to have something between 32px and 16px to test around with.

Also another question, I am sure it's not placebo, but wanted to ask @Chainik, is artifact masking worse with nVida Optical Flow? It seems like it with the tests I done, it does not mask artifacts as well. I always have artifact masking on strong, using "strongest" ruins the smoothness of the video, so can't use that. But comparing with Optical Flow and Without, it seems artifact masking on strong is worse with Optical Flow. But of course, performance is better overall.

Is there a way to add the settings under motion vector that are available without Optical Flow? But then when I enable Optical Flow most of the settings are gone. I only have Accuracy and Motion Vector Grid, but without Optical Flow, there are more options for motion vectors.

EDIT: Actually setting artifact masking to strongest doesn't have a very strong effect on Optical Flow, it remains fairly smooth, and it removes most of the artifacts when combined with Complicated SVP Shader, before I was using the Standard SVP Shader.

My only requests is to add both 40px and 24px, so we can test it with different videos. For example, football matches, I noticed changing from 16px to 32px removed MOST of the ball artifacts, but maybe if there was also a 40px option, then the ball artifacts will be completely removed because SVP won't find the motion of the small object? Maybe. Would be nice to have the options for testing, or if we can add them manually?

You need to calm down, haha and troubleshoot until you fix the issue.

You said you're sure it's not a hardware issue right? I assumed you've stress tested everything. I also assume you have water cooling or some kind of decent air cooler right? Don't tell me you're overclocking your CPU with the STOCK cooler please.

It ONLY shows you drivers for devices on your system that need updating. Not all drivers are available on your motherboard's webpage. Sometimes motherboard manufacturers don't update older motherboard pages. So a new chipset driver, or new bluetooth driver, or new LAN driver comes out that WORKS with your motherboard, but it's only available to download on newer motherboards that use the same chips.

That's why this program is very handy, it finds the newest drivers for every component that's in YOUR system.

When you first run it, should be empty, then you click download and choose to download ONLY the indexes. After the indexes download, then you should see ALL the drivers that need updating that are ONLY in your system. Nothing there is something you don't have.

As Chainik also said, it could very well be a GPU driver issue. Download the latest "GeForce Hotfix Driver 445.78" and install that, which from what I see being reported fixed the issues that were there with 445.75.

Also run nVidia Control Panel, go to "Manage 3D Settings", scroll down to "Power Management Mode" and set it to "Prefer Maximum Performance".

Don't worry YOUR issue will be fixed, like every other PC issue, and then you'd go UHH can't believe it was that the whole time. Lol just calm down and follow the steps one by one so we can determine why the issue is happening. Start by updating the drivers using Snappy Driver Installer, which should also update your graphics driver anyway, and then do the power management tweak I recommended.
