Is this GPU usage normal? [Image attached]

Thanks. I went with that theory and fixed it by readjusting the P states with NVInspector (just in case anybody else has the same problem).
This is taken after playing a movie for several minutes. (You can add mpc.exe or whatever your video player is to the Video Applications window which gives it more Mhz when the app is running)

Only my second problem left. Is some form of artefacting/ghosting part and parcel of the way SVP works or should it not be there at all if the CPU and GPU are powerful enough and it is set up optimally?
Are there any settings I can tweak that can either lessen this or totally remove it?
While I wait for an informed response I will have a play with the Active Profile Settings...

About quality. Crop black borders first.

Thanks MAG but my screenshot is slightly misleading. As the video doesn't have borders it's just the way the window was sized.

I've been playing around with the profile and you can eradicate the artefacts by, as you would expect, settings 'Artifact masking' to Strongest but this is at the expense of video quality for me.
These are the settings I'm liking at the moment. They look amazing on my system though they do make an Hexcore Intel CPU running at 4.9Ghz use 50% CPU usage! 

Is there anything I should maybe change or try out?

To save downloading the whole file here are the two clips that I use to test for smoothness and artefacts. The 1st clip does both, with the panning across the map testing for smoothness and them immediately after the girl running through the crowd, as she will have artifacts surrounding her.

The second is just for artifacting. First noticed around Frodo's hand as he picks up the mail and then mainly down his right side as he walks back up the stairs.

That's because you are using 1.5 Interpolation (for Anime)

for anime 1m + shaider #2
