Remember the first time you run any new video resolution with any changed RIFE version the popup comes up and cache needs to be built. Every time after that, with the same RIFE version and same resolution you previously ran, it should start immediately.
Just wanted to provide that note, as people aren't aware sometimes they just have to wait for that popup to finish its thing and not close it.
Okay, I have an RTX 3090, so I will speak from my experience with that and scale up for the 4090.
Instead of interpolation To Screen at the top, I run Movie x2, and using a program called Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) I create a custom resolution to create a 48Hz refresh rate 4K to switch to in the nVidia control panel when I want to watch a TV show or movie.
With an RTX 4090, if you can change your refresh rate to 4K 60Hz, 10bpc, RGB, full and perhaps test using To Screen, which will interpolate to 60 FPS at 60Hz, you might be able to push that, hopefully. I can't with the 3090, but perhaps that 4090 is able to do 60 FPS @ 4K, if it can't test Movie x2, and if that works properly, then crease a custom resolution with the method above using CRU.
Matching the FPS and display Refresh Rate gives a smoother experience. I had issues with VRR working properly before (flickering on OLED), so that's why I switch everything manually myself.
For the best RIFE version to use, the developer says 4.18 is the best one, but IMO the best version I have used, with the least visual anomalies, is version 4.25, which was a beta version of 4.26 (which for me is the worst).
Let me know how it goes, as I am interested in knowing the 4090 performance, if the 5090 is too expensive, I might switch to a 4090.
