Topic: Is there a way to cap your fps in SVP4?

I want to test if 48fps looks better than 60fps, since 60fps looks kinda stuttery sometimes (while its still at 60 though) and my processor is not that good. Is there a way to do this in SVP4?

SVP 4 Free - no
SVP 4 Pro / Mac / Linux - yes

Re: Is there a way to cap your fps in SVP4?

One way is to simply change your refresh rate to 48Hz (this may require the use of a custom resolution).

Also, it might look kind of stuttery sometimes because doing fractional interpolation values like 24fps to 60Hz is always going to be less smooth than exact multiples like 24fps to 48Hz or 72Hz.  So even with SVP Pro, it's still better to use 48Hz than 60Hz (and it uses less CPU utilization to boot!).

Lastly, if you do go with using 48Hz, you will likely want to keep using 60Hz (or higher) for normal desktop usage.  I do not know what your set up is, but both MadVR and MPC-HC can be set to automatically change to use 48Hz when it detects a 24fps video and then revert back to 60Hz when closing the video.

Overclock monitor to 72 = Win for most videos.
