Hello all, I'm very new here. I apologize if I'm asking something that you might have answered before. If someone could guide me towards properly setting this up, I'd greatly, greatly appreciate it.

First, my rig is as follow:

i5-3570k @ 4.4Ghz OC
16 GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 1070
Acer monitor @ 165hz OC
HP 27xi monitor @ 60hz

I am currently trying out SVP 4  Free, and in love with it so far and plan to buy the Pro version. My questions are this:

1) I watch mainly anime and shows (MKV, MP4) at either 720p, 1080p @ 24 fps. I've downloaded PotPlayer, SVC 4 Free, LAV Codec, and MadVR. Will these be all I need?

2) The smoothness is beautiful on my 60 fps monitor. But instead of 60hz, should I buy Pro and set target rate at 48 fps (2x of 24 fps), or 72 fps on my 165hz monitor?

3) I remember fidgeting CPU thread/core either in SVP, MadVR, or PotPlayer.... not sure exactly which. But for my CPU (i5-3570k), what would be the ideal number to set this as?

4) Most importantly, when I try to watch 1080p @ 24 fps anime on my 165hz monitor, SVP renders 165 fps. My SVP Index, instead of staying 1.0, drops to around 0.72 - 0.82 and video/sound begin to desync. Does that mean my rig is incapable of rendering that high fps? CPU goes up to around 80% - 85%, while GPU never exceed 40%, so I figured it should be able to handle a bit more. Or is something fundamentally wrong with my settings?

Thank you for your time. Again, I apologize for elementary questions - there has been a lot I've learn in the past 24 hours.... from regular Windows Media Classic + some codecs, now to PotPlayer + SVP + madVR + ReClock (not even sure what this is for). I am quite overwhelmed right now, and I hope someone can help guide me through this as if I was 5 years old. Cheers!
