Did you check if GPU acceleration in SVP is turned on?

Appplication settings -> GPU acceleration

Happened to me a couple of times that all of a sudden the GPU acceleration was turned off and videos started to stutter tremendously.

Yes. It was on but still lag. I can only resort to reinstalling windows. This happens to me more and more frequently. I would always try reinstalling GPU driver first. If that doesn't fix it, only reinstalling windows would fix it. I could expect to see more frequent reinstallation of windows in the future.

This is not normal behaviour.

Download Malwarebytes Antimalware, use trial. Do a FULL SCAN of your entire system. If there's a USB that you use to reinstall programs that you have on it after you format, or any external hard drives. Plug them all in and make sure you do a custom scan on them too.

There is no way installing Windows and after a while you get slow downs, and then you have to format and install Windows again. This is not a way to fix issues. You need to figure out the software, or the tweaks, or something that either you're doing or being done to your system that is causing your issue.

Recently I usually got it fixed by DDU and reinstall GPU driver. I certainly did not mess with any GPU settings before the issue suddenly pop up.

Sorry for opening similar posts. But still there isn't a convincing solution for this very same problem and the problem does pop up suddenly without any obvious cause. It is so frustrating.
And this time is a bit different, the CPU usage is not maxing out.

If you used madVR before then the MPC-HC's update may probably reset it to EVR. Which is not good for 144 fps...

I didn't use madVR. I just used what the SVP installer give me out of the box without checking any additional component during installation, which used to works fine at 144fps.
Just give madVR a try but it is even worse. The SVP index looks a bit better, hovering around 1.00, but the actual video playback is way slower than audio, the audio does not even stutter to wait for the video like before.

Just got update today (4.3.0.183, don't know why it didn't prompt me until today) and video playback at 1080p@144Hz becomes laggy with SVP Index < 1. The CPU usage is no where near 100%, just around 50% (Used to see ~99% CPU usage in the past when I encountered lag, but not this time). GPU usage fluctuates between 20%-65%. Tried DDU and clean install GPU driver, reinstall SVP, no luck.

CPU: i5-3470
GPU: GTX1070

player: MPC-HC x64

This time I get it fixed by DDU and clean install GPU driver

I have encountered this problem 3 times in my life. One day suddenly, out of no where, video playback at 144 fps becomes laggy, video index < 1.00. No changes were made to the system. I have checked the CPU usage and made sure no other programs are eating up CPU resources. Videos that used to play perfectly at 144 fps with 60-70% CPU usage yesterday suddenly becomes laggy with 99% CPU usage today. What's even weirder is that if I disable GPU acceleration, the CPU usage drops and the video becomes less laggy, but still not good. Last time I solved this problem by updating GPU driver. No luck this time. The first time I even ended up reinstalling windows. Did anyone also experience such strange issue?

I made a copy of the automatic profile and set the frame rate to 120 fps then the lag seems gone. But I was playing 144fps fine just a few hours ago. I also notice higher CPU usage than before.

I am using SVP 4 Pro on Windows 7 with MPC-HC x64 on a 144Hz monitor. I used to play 1080p animation at 144 fps with Automatic profile highest quality optimized for animation without problem. Suddenly the video becomes lagging behind, every few seconds the audio stop to wait for the video. The audio is playing at normal speed so it is the video lagging. Just a few hours ago everything was just fine and suddenly this problem happen. I don't remember changing anything to the computer. Already tried restart the computer, reinstall SVP and MPC-HC, no luck. What should I do?

is it higher than 1080p resolution?

No, it's just 1080p

Thank you for reply.  I didn't. I uses SMPlayer so I've just tried adding

--hwdec=auto-copy --hwdec-codecs=all

at the mpv Options on SMPlayer. I also selected "auto-copy" under Performance->Decoding->Hardware decoding. But the high CPU usage and lag still goes on. I also tried running

 mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket --hwdec=auto-copy --hwdec-codecs=all 

  and

 mpv --input-ipc-server=/tmp/mpvsocket --hwdec=nvdec-copy --hwdec-codecs=all 

from command line. The terminal does say Using hardware decoding(nvdec-copy), but the CPU usage is still very high and video is still lag.

I have recently switched from Windows to Linux and found that SVP perform much worse on Linux. I can play 1080p Anime at Automatic profile with highest quality easily at around 40-55% CPU usage on Windows MPC-HC. However, on Linux with mpv, the CPU usage shoots straight above 90% even with average or even lower quality setting and experience noticeable frame drops and lag. Both have GPU acceleration enabled. Is this how it should be? If it is I should consider giving up the thought of switching to Linux...
CPU : i5-3470
GPU : GTX 1070
Linux distro: have tried Pop!_OS, kubuntu and Manjaro
It was quite frustrated to see the result after spending nights dealing with the hassle of building SVP on ubuntu since the vapoursynth ppa does not exist. Later found that all of SVP, vapoursynth, mpv are on AUR and can all be built automatically, it was a much more satisfying installation experience on Arch based Manjaro. But still the performance outcome is upsetting once getting to 1080p. Am I missing something to get the maximum performance on Linux?
