I'm shocked to not have seen others mentioning 4k performance so much (or bugs therin). Not speaking for others but having major issues on the 4702HQ /GTX 850m at almost any setting. 16GB DRam so certainly no odd issues there. Optimus is working as it's supposed to. MCH-HC EVR-CP Or Mad VR.
Are others getting fair performance at 4k? Share your recent experience with SVP and read on.
1a) I'm not complaining VP9 4k option isn't around yet, for the obvious complication of (confounding load). This makes sense, will this be around in the (near) future?
It may just be, or of course could be a lack of CPU power (lack of a fixed function interpolator)
Let alone Quality 2k/4K MP4 LET ALONE VP9 decode HW,
But I'm encountering performance issues. 4k is completely soft reset/crash, and 2k MP4 (MPC-HC 1.7.10 > EVR-CP MADVR)
2) Are we going to be able to run 8k interpolation of any kind with current CPU/fundamental concurrent -CPU- silicon technology, or is SVP hitting the end of the line at 4k interpolation, or possibly even just the current 1080p, with current methods / CPU power-innefficiencies
/fundamental CPU limitations interpolating frames?!
This question I think needs an answer. Thank you for reading and addressing performance issues/questions.
Back to expatiating/comisserating [in my case, it's safe to say complaining at the moment]
I don't know if others are able to interpolate 4k at 60/120fps through their computer panels/displays/ monitors. I would love to see some, any feedback here on that: others SVP experience (particularly through say SVP-You-Tube)...
So that others, users, and devs can benefit at large.
Performance issue first:
720p are about all I can -properly at 60fps- sustain through MPC/EVR-CP/SVP4. 1080p won't even play generally above/beyond say 50fps.
I'm having non-default sizing issues irregardless of weather through SVPTube, or the SVP4 project itself [720p 23p files]!
It [Freezes, perpetual failure to continue to playback the buffered YouTube source-file] may, potentially, be some... tertiary issue, but SVPTube is very buggy when enlarging [or attempting to fix/make better] that small (approx 1/50th of my and others -who've mentioned this experience- screen) Player-Box (Client MPC/PotPlayer/Kodi ETC) to appropriate playback, or any desired, say for instance fullscreen for that matter, sizes.
I don't want MPC-to open to a statically-sized box everytime it (a file) opens. I want it to open to the proper resolution: on my 4k or say 1440p monitor, so that I don't have to still resize every single stream-size, every time I load a video. PRAY IT DOESN'T -seemingly inexplicably- FREEZE IF you're/I'm streaming through SVP.
Others have mentioned this issue, I don't know weather a fix is indeed coming, but I think it needs MORE attention. I'm very skeptical, but maybe it's somehow related to 4k? It's very frusterating.
Thanks!
Lastly, my surmising/ loosely analogous Performance extrapolating (issue).
I could be 100% wrong, although My impression is/would be that higher Bit-rates (use 120mbps as a quasi-ideal instance - because that's for example/instance 4k UHD standard will run at --23fps content-)
would require a fair bit more CPU-resource than current consumer CPU will likely be capable of giving us.
At least 8/10core CPU required.... To say nothing of 8k [--which I would think is simply not possible to Interpolate whatsoever w/o FF interpolation hardware].
I'd like more comments on 4k SVP performance others are seeing (.264 .265, or VP9)...
Level of satisfaction and scaling concerns with SVP/Interpolation for the future......
As it is/stands the project is fairly developed, [THANKS!] but I find that perceptually relatively minor issues, make using SVP4 a relatively MAJOR PAIN right now (particularly, all the moreso thru SVPTube due the default resolution file playback freezes/errors, at least on my laptop), but I think/wonder it might also be my hardware configuration, or if as aforementioned software interpolation techniques (SVP project) just cannot be done on highly innefficient, latency-architectured CPU technology..
Are others having just as buggy an experience as I am? With SVPTube things are outright not opitmal, running straight files things are a bit better (at least the files generally don't/won't freeze unless the Player simply cannot interpolate them effectively at all (2k VP9/4K), but Even so, I'm running just 2.8GHZ (7 SVP) threads and 850M (Maxwell) MPC-HC 1.7.10 (either Mad-VR/EVR-CP)
I WANT, very much to use SVP, but these seemingly fairly simple little issues (and more importantly, a couple of bugs) are really making it impossible to integrate more-or-less seamlessly into my casual/day-to-day 'work-flow' (freezes/resizes are particularly, terribly annoying actually).
3) If SVPtube could open Youtube files at their appropriate resolution (not tiny box that's glitchy-at least for me personally- to resize, and freezes) like the any other run of the mill whole-file does (when not tandem/coterminously running SVP) that would be one terrrific step in a good direction. It would be a relief.
And Thanks a whole bouquet to the developers for having delivered so much this far!
Would, again.. Appreciate others sharing their experience with 4k/desktop use for SVP...
Is even just 4k viable through ~ 3.5 or 4ghz processors, or are 8 core cpus really required to get the job done without fixed-function interpolation circuits?
