Topic: Stuttering with SVP [120 Hz]

I got a new more powerful laptop but now my videos stutter most of the time. It will play fine for a few seconds then the stuttering starts badly.

I ensured to add the SVP profiles folder under my username to the exceptions of my antivirus (Norton Antivirus 2013)

I ensured no other running applications in the background

I am using LAV Filters 0.58 with CUDA and Enable Hardware/GPU Deinterlacing enabled

I am using madVR 0.86.7

I am using LAV Splitter with no Haali installed as I never need those splitters anyway

I am using FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2013-06-12_clsid

I did the suggested settings in this thread but it didn't help at all

System specs:

ASUS G750JX-CV050H

Re: Stuttering with SVP [120 Hz]

UpdateL if I change my refresh rate for my 3D Screen from 120 Hz. to 60 Hz. the stuttering goes away and SVP is smooth like before.

But I think my system specifications can handle 120 FPS right or wrong?

Shall I just stay @ 60 FPS instead of 120 FPS or is there something that can be done?

Re: Stuttering with SVP [120 Hz]

It is strange. Picture must be smooth on 120 Hz display if it only one display or primary display and if exclusive mode madVR is used.
Try to change splitter, decoder or video file. In some cases it can help.

BTW for 25 fps video I recommend you to use 100 Hz mode instead of 120 Hz to get integer smooth coefficient.

Re: Stuttering with SVP [120 Hz]

well I have 100s of videos how do I know which is 25 FPS by default and which is 20 FPS?

I\ll play around more with the settings today and see what I can do sad

I thought the GeForce GTX 770M can make you breakfast in the morning by itself and play any video at super high FPS sad

Re: Stuttering with SVP [120 Hz]

1. you need to know if it's CPU limited or not
2. if not then you've a chance  big_smile
2.1. increase "Processing threads" number untill it'll crash with some strange memory errors (try 19 for the start)
2.2. remember that 770M is more like desktop 650 (correct me if i'm wrong) AND that 120 fps needs exactly two times more GPU horsepower to render them
2.3. so lower madVR's settings or even switch to EVR (just for testing)
