Thanks Chainik.

Sounds like the 15w CPU would only be enough if it could run in boost consistently, which it wouldn't be able to do.

The Mac isn't a bad suggestion, but I think I'd rather just go up in size a bit, and look for something with adequate cooling and a 28 or 35w CPU.

I like to use this scatter plot from PassMark to get an idea of performance per watt. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/power_perf … catter-cpu

I'm thinking anything above ~20,000 on PassMark would do well enough for me. Maybe I can find a deal on something with a Ryzen GE or Intel T CPU. (or build one myself)

I'm shopping for a Mini PC (prebuilt or barebones) to run Windows and be used as an HTPC that can handle interpolating 4k from 24 to 60fps with good quality. I'm wanting low cost and power consumption.

The Ryzen 5 5600U seems to be a good option. 15W CPU with low cost. The BOSGAME U56 is what I'm looking at that uses it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BHYZ51KY

Anyone have experience with this CPU and SVP? Or have another suggestion?  Thanks

all settings -> frc.target.tolarance, you can set it to the big enough value

This would be a good solution, except that it allows for rates higher than the monitor can do as well.


I have the same desire for SVP as the OP.  I'd love to be able to set a range equal to my adaptive sync range, and have a target frame rate within that range. Could this be a feature request?

Is the adaptive sync range on a monitor available as information that SVP could attain?  I have different monitors with separate ranges that I watch videos with SVP on both. Would be great to get that information and adjust between them automatically.

Maybe have a simple target selection between: Low, Mid, or High.  I'd generally choose the Low target since I don't need movies to be doing 6x+ interpolation if 2x or 3x gets it into my monitors range.

Thank you!

After updating Plex to version 1.48.2.3124 (and replacing the mpv-1.dll file), SVP no longer works with it.  Checking the Event Log (see below), SVP appears to be working normally, but is actually not. SVP shows "No active playback".

I have reverted to version 1.47.1.3086 and all works normally.
