Then try to reduce complexity of SVP computations: move sliderbar to Higher performance.
This was the first thing I tried playing around with but no matter what the seek bar was still slow to come up.
After experimenting a bit more, I've noticed that this problem specifically only affects videos with variable frame rates encoded to HEVC while running in full screen mode. All three of these conditions need to present for the seek bar to render slowly. I've also noticed that it's not just the seek bar coming up slowly, but frame rate is also very inconsistent in full screen mode. In windowed mode I'm able to get 60fps constant with a constant SVP index. In full screen mode, the frames dip as low as 40fps and the index can go as low as 0.75.
I've also tried a couple different nvidia drivers now and the frame rate drop appears in all of them. I know that HEVC is considerably more complex to decode than x264, but I've experimented with a variable frame rate video with a resolution of 640x480 and it still chugs compared to playing even a 1080p x264 file.
