Topic: Low SVP Index during frame rate conversion at resolutions > 4K
With a 3840x1920@59.94 video, using the automatic video profile, I can do frame rate conversion to "Fixed 240 fps" at the highest quality with high artifact masking. I get an SVP Index of 1, CPU utilisation of ~14% (AMD 5900X) and GPU utilisation of ~60% (NVIDIA 3080).
However, with a 5400x2700@59.94 video, using the automatic video profile, with "Fixed 90 fps" at the lowest quality with no artifact masking I only get an SVP index of ~0.73. The CPU utilisation is only ~14% and GPU utilisation is only ~45%. (RAM and SSD utilisation are also low)
I have followed various setup steps found on the wiki and forum, but am not sure how to further diagnose or fix the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated =] If there's anything I can provide to give more information, please let me know.
Some info:
I'm using Windows 10 (build 19042.685) with MPC-HC (1.9.8) on a 2560x1440@240 monitor. I get similar results in SteamVR (latest beta) with Whirligig (latest beta) on an HP Reverb G2.
SVP version is 4.5.0.206.
NVIDIA drivers are version 461.92.
I have installed LAV Filters (0.74.1) and madVR (0.92.17).
In the SVP application settings I have enabled GPU acceleration and NVIDIA Optical Flow.
MPC-HC and Whirligig have been configured using https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:MPC-HC and https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Whirligig
In CodecTweakTool (6.5.0) DirectShow Filter Configuration for LAV Video Decoder I have set the number of threads to 24 and specified NVIDIA CUVID as the hardware decoder to use.
In the MPC-HC Internal LAV filter settings I have set the number of threads to 24.
In the SVP control panel I have set the video frame settings to keep aspect ratio and normal size, and disabled outer lighting.
