Hi all

I just bought my first 4K screen, so now I can test my 4K rips finally!
The connected HTPC only has an i5 2400, but a GTX1050Ti video card. I was hoping that the latter should be sufficient for reliable 4K UHD decoding. I think I have my MadVR settings running perfectly in that I can get the TV to switch into HDR with FSE enabled, and it requires a restart of the TV to show up properly in windowed mode. (Otherwise it is green and purple!).

The problem is that I am getting a framerate of 19-23, mostly 19 and 20, and it looks awful. These rates do not change no matter how I play with MadVR's quality vs performance settings, or with FSE vs windowed mode. The content I am playing is native 4K HDR, so no upscaling or downscaling is happening.

From what I have read the GPU should be able to cope with this. Is that perhaps, optimistic, or is it the CPU limiting me? I will soon replace the innards with a newer i7 based system.

Any insights or MadVR settings recommendations welcomed.

Can you post a screenshot of the madVR stats.

fitbrit:
I wish I could. Others seem to use ctrl-J to pull these up, but I get nothing. I will see if there is something I need to set in MadVR to allow stats display

mojave:
Work around #1:  Try Options>General>Features>Remote Control (disable it)

Work around #2:  If you right click the screen and open the madVR options dialog box, you should be able press CTRL+J and have the stats show if the dialog box is the active window.

fitbrit:
Thanks very much! I will do that and report back when I get the chance- probably tonight.
