Topic: 144Hz Monitor Issue

I am using a 144Hz monitor, as the title says.
When I run SVP it interpolates the video to the screen refresh rate (144fps), I want to lock it to interpolate to 60fps, as 144 seems off for some reason.
I am using the latest version of SVP, and this has been an issue ever since the 4.0.0 release.

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

The following thread probably won't address your issue directly, but it may very well give you a different (and possibly better) configuration that may very well work just fine since another 144Hz user had no problems with the results:

Make sure you read the entire thing (it's not long, only 1 page) since the subject shifts halfway down, and that latter subject may be relevant to your issue.

Why isn't there an option to just double the framerate, like the old SVP?

The option is present.
Create new profile from Automatic and select x2 smooth factor.

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

I don't have two thirds of those options, are you using pro?

Yes. It is screenshot of SVP 4 PRO.
SVP 4 Free don't have option 'Custom target frame rates'. See SVP 4 editions comparison.

But you can switch your 144 Hz monitor to 60 Hz mode. It must work.

It does work, although there is a bug where the screen would lock on 60Hz until I unplug and plug it back in, or do an action that does the same (as far as Windows is concerned).

Could you elaborate by what you mean by "lock on" with regards to 60Hz?  Like, once you select 60Hz, does the option for 144Hz disappear?

Does this happen regardless of refresh rate, like if you used 120Hz instead?

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

Well, after changing the refresh rate, and then switching it back after I'm done with whatever I did, not sure when this happens, but at some point it would revert to 60Hz and remove the option to switch the refresh rate (aka http://puu.sh/oKXPv/fe1fd9b4c2.png this window does not have the options for 144 or 120 Hz).

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

use Custom resolution utility-> reset64.exe -> restart driver to soft reset driver in 2 clicks

Are you doing this manually through monitor properties, or are you using the built-in automatic resolution/refresh rate changer in MPC-HC?

If the former, try doing it via the latter.  If the latter, try doing it via the former.

Doing it through MPC seems to yield no results, it doesn't seem to do anything but change my screen resolution to 1080p (http://puu.sh/oL2pM/da4aba418e.png), and doing it manually makes it revert to 60Hz again after a while, instead of returning to 144Hz permanently (still don't know the reason).

Wait, is the source video file natively 60.000 fps?  Because that's how you have it set up - the "From (FPS)" and "To (FPS)" refers to the frame rate of the source video file, not the frame rate after SVP's interpolation.

Ohh, I see, it still changes the resolution to 1080p though, for some reason.

Well, assuming that it isn't a monitor issue, you could always try running DDU and then re-install your GPU drivers...

Speaking of which, what is your CPU and GPU?

I always use DDU to uninstall my drivers and the issue has appeared way before the latest driver update.

My CPU is a 6600K and my GPU is an R9 390.

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

Here's a crazy idea - does the issue still occur if you unplug your 390 (while your PC is off obviously) and connect your monitor to your integrated Intel GPU?

Re: 144Hz Monitor Issue

Did you ever try using CRU?

It always worked better than AMD's native utility for me. Also, 144hz might look wierd because SVP isn't keeping up, as the build-in benchmark doesn't take your screen's refresh rate into account.
