I asked him to confirm if they actually tested SVP4 specifically:

We tested everything. You get frames for the sake of frames, but it's nowhere near ffmpeg interpolation

For me, SVP4's benefits to <60FPS 1080p/4K video being interpolated to 60FPS is undeniable in its fluidity. But whether 4K/5K/6K 180-SBS video that is already 60FPS is even worth trying to interpolate to 90FPS with SVP4, rather than just letting the SteamVR/Oculus framerate doubling do its thing to display it at 90FPS, is another matter perhaps.

Got a reply from Ivan @ DeoVR. Looks like he wasn't happy with testing results.

We have tested it and we were greatly unhappy with interpolation
quality. FFMPEG interpolation takes days for 4K video. There's no
technology to provide instant interpolation and low quality
interpolation is hurting experience

Whirligig is simply the worst player. Awkward and unintuitive, the controls are awful, the menu somehow got stuck below the floor even after re-installing and wiping the %appdata% config folders, it doesn't auto-detect SBS or even let you default to 180 SBS. I'm done fighting with it and will just tolerate DeoVR without the SVP HEVC support.

How do we get DeoVR to support SVP for HEVC, is it just a matter of petitioning the DeoVR developer?

Interesting. Well I just installed a 1650 Super.  Is there a way to confirm Optical Flow is actually working? 

I do have it enabled in Application Settings -> GPU Acceleration -> Use Nvidia Optical Flow (64-Bit Only)

I ask because the "Use Nvidia Optical Flow" option does not disable itself if there is no dGPU installed. When I had only the Intel 630 IGP on the 9900k enabled, and loaded SVP, the Use Nvidia Optical Flow checkbox remained on.

Just curious how cheap a GPU I can get away with that still supports Turing's Optical Flow feature for SVP.  Don't do any gaming.  1660? 1660 Ti? 

Thanks

Interesting. I have an 8600k (6 core) @ 4.8GHz.

What I have noticed is that *some* type of dedicated GPU seems to be needed for SVP @ 4K60, because if I remove the Nvidia card and set SVP to use Intel 630 iGPU for hardware acceleration, it's not powerful enough and 4K stutters.

I'm curious about the cheapest Nvidia GPU that still supports SVP at 4K60. My 1080Ti was obviously perfect, then I tried 1070 and that worked fine, now I'm on a 1060 and that seems to work fine. Is it my imagination or do these GPU's all provide the same GPU acceleration for SVP? Or are there quality settings that can be cranked higher for 1070 and 1080Ti?

Edit: CPU is Intel i5-8600k
