Hi, Merry Christmas to you All friends, i hope you all are having wonderful time with your families today. Its 11:50 pm right now while im writing this, sorry for the Delay i been super busy but finally im making time for this, i expect the Guide will be completed this week or at 90% at least because i did all the runs and tests i wanted before Update.

So for the moment updated the list of all the Apps and Hardware you need for the upcoming big update of my Guide that will include more than before.. Things i always wanted but i didnt had the " decent " hardware for it.

I will cover all i can of course that is reach to my knowledge and experience about stuffs never posted and shown before that are:

1- Overclock your decent LCD Led 1080p (HDMI) or better Monitor to reach more than 60 fps/60Hz for better smooth quality, some monitors can be Overclocked to at least get you a bit more of 60 Hz, of course this will be up to the Users risk because some say: " it may kill the life of your monitor than expected ". Im running my monitor overclocked to 75Hz for about +4 months and its fine, not a single issue or noticeable problems becoming from it, but like i said this will be up to you, your decision what is preferable this be done by " Experienced or Advanced users " you could try or even help me, correct me in case im doing something wrong. Of course for this you will need to follow other steps and configurations i will show you as well.

so NVIDIA Profile Inspector, Custom Resolution Utility CRU, NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher and right Drivers will cover all of it and a big Note this is for NVIDIA Users Only for the moment, Sorry AMD Users i dont have yet AMD GPU / AMD FreeSync. AMD will be cover in time in near future i hope ( donations are welcome ). Minimum Nvidia GPU needed must be 1060 or 1070 (gtx 980 Ti equivalent also work too) so the better your Monitor, the connection type (HDMI or DisplayPort) and GPU = best results, quality!. The Monitor to be use must be minimum 1080p LCD using a HDMI/DisplayPort Connection. Then again the better the monitor connected to any Nvidia GTX 1070 / 1080 / Ti / Titan p/ GTX 2070 / 2080/ Ti the results will be optimal and best, for high smoothness quality!.

2- Easy and Recommended Nvidia Control Panel Settings not only for this also for your Games. So not only doing the above mentioned will give you another level also for Free to your Games as well.

3- Overclock your GPU following the same conditions and more mentioned on the " Overclock your Monitor ". Nvidia users only, for the moment of course AMD will be covered in near future / get the chance ( lacking hardware at the moment ).

4- One thing im very! demanding is with Audio Quality and for that i did a crazy testing, doing it since 2014 but never posted because the results was not like i wanted, i could not find the solution or the right " answer " for what i called " best or ideal audio quality " because for me its not the same watch any content if the audio is not pleasing to my Ears. For this you will need Any decent onboard or PCI-Express (PCI-E preferable) Creative Sound Blaster Audio Card. A note is still after all this years.. Creative audio drivers are bad, some Effects that were Renamed but are the same S... " thing " cause the same issues in some conditions that require good ears to notice. There are modded drivers but i wont recommend anything that is not tested by me First so if i have to " recommend " any driver, i will do so.

The kind and model of your Speakers will be a very important part of the end resulting Quality so keep that in mind!, i will show and explain something and after that you will Have to safe money until you can Afford a proper or decent Speakers if you are a Hungry and Audio Quality Maniac as im . Only for Demanding Ears and users that want the Max audio Quality possible from High Quality Sources ( media files ). Its not just about to buy the best audio card out there, plug in, play " anything " and done you have instant high quality possible.. no no no, its not that simple!. It require more stuffs to do for Free (dont worry i will help you with that).

5- More to Add in time and all of this and more will be POST Only on EXTRAS section, so make sure when this guide is almost completed to check it First before anything, anything posted on EXTRAS could be of any Use for you so again make sure to check it First before anything.

- you have a Dedicated Sound Blaster PCI-E Sound Card Only? Go on you are fine.
- You have a 1080p LCD Monitor connected through HDMI connection Only? (No Nvidia GPU, just iGPU or AMD) still Go on you are fine, maybe limited but.. you must find out.
- You have a 1080p LCD Monitor connected through HDMI connection with Any of the mentioned Nvidia GPUs Only? Go on you are fine.

And more, with all of that you got a better idea right? again you must check EXTRAS first then you decide what to do Next.

This is all for now, i will continue editing, updating this week and when i have free time, right now trying to enjoy with family all i can, my country having very bad times, maybe any of you are having best moment and time than me but im not down or give up, im still here looking forward. I hope things get better fast because we all need it! . Note: yes i know Engish not good, sorry for that, a friend will help me later with the Guide and it Translation once Guide is almost Complete.

Hi, yeah sorry for the long delay, been very busy and pc was not operative, got it back to work again. Making testings,etc and more right now. Hope to post / update this week.

Hi everyone, everything ok arround here? i hope. Yeah its been awhile =/ sorry for that. Like i said my life changed emmm how to say " bad times " yeah where im living ( Venezuela - South America ) very bad but well to not bother you all im waiting to have sometime to continue with this. A friend gifted me SVP Pro ( thanks bud ) and also i have a better rig with help of someone else, because i cant afford right now such pc.

Like i said before Thanks to SVP Team to keep this still " sticky " and to anyone that thinks its useful.

hmm thanks for this

Alright, if you look more in deep you will notice that making manual settings with svp 4 pro and 3.1.7 are close, what changed the most was interface and few more settings. I mean create custom profile, for the moment cant provide you more in deep guide, need to wait me some more. You could provide me screenshot of a X custom profile with all settings then i will tell you which one to change / test.

About LAV Video Decoder vs PotPlayers, its just a preferable like, thats why im adding it as optional and ppls can use it if they want for all formats. I tested both long ago and quality was very similar not much difference. About performance settings both with the same hardware video decoder, were pretty close very minimal, for example use Nvidia Cuda or DXVA2 copy back. PotPlayers built-in decoders and more at this point are good.

About to get the best image quality possible.. it depends of:

1- Quality of the encoded material and it resolution.
2- Performance vary depending of the source material and it fps, video bitrate, format, resolution. 1080p @ 30 fps vs 1080p @ 23.976 fps perform differently, more fps makes the smooth quality better, less artifacts but increase cpu usage while svp active.
3- Quality of your monitor.
4- Player default video settings vs user custom settings including " Shaders " to enhanced the video quality or if you like more to " correct and fix " the supposedly video problems you see on them. Like if the video for you is too dark or too blurry then you use shaders and other image enhance settings to " fit it " to your likes.

While playing your 1080p press Tab and see the original FPS of the video, more fps it was encoded the more cpu and gpu it will use while svp is active, also the settings in use in that svp custom profile affect alot the final performance. Use Shaders to enhanced image quality also have cost in performance.

Guide Updated 3 - Extras

Hi, ok thanks for that. You say best is set in windows 96 Khz to minimeze as much as possible that bug or in case its present to X user ? When i play these samples , all of them sound ok i think, i didnt heard the " tone " it mention. I have set 96 Khz in my Z model. It mention the bug more present in win 7 right? but what about windows 10. I wonder if might change if you are using onboard audio device or dedicated sound card.

greetings

Edit2: ok if i understood well, this is a bug more present on vista / widows 7, some of them could be present or take in consideration even on win10. I should add your link as optional and guide for windows 7 users. Something for them to take a look.

Guide Updated 1 - basic / recommended / ready for SVP
Editing Extra section

Important: sorry AMD ATi users, for the moment i cant provide advanced settings because i dont have any AMD ATi video cards, when i can get one by donation(s) or buy, then i will add what i can. For the moment detailed extra settings are more for Nvidia users. I also have Nvidia video card thanks to a friend who helped me to get a new rig ( thank you m8 ).

okey okey starting to edit this since today, slow but sure ( been busy at home ). Uploading images, they will last for 1 year now, unless something happen or i delete / change them. Spanish ( Español ) version of the Guide is in plans ( separated thread ). Installed Windows 10 pro x64 build 10586, still need to install more stuffs.

Hi guys, ohhh i see didnt noticed . I will reupload them again , also edit few stuffs if need, give me this days while i return from family city.

hi rymnd6c28

In the guide says if you have problems setting dxva2 copy-back dx11, then select dx9. Using the potplayer version recommended on the top of the guide, both work, at least for me, if not complete for you even using that potplayer version then use dx9 solved problem.
