Hi.
Can someone tell me which is the best Nvidia driver for madVR with hdr passtrough sending metadata to the display?
I tried 442.74: it works fine on hdr but there is stuttering on 23.970 fps. Then I tried all the newer - perfect on 23.970 fps - but there is a bug after hdr playback stops...
None works fine at all?

My gpu is Nvidia RTX 2060. Please help me!

Here are a collection of settings that may help in battling the stutter problem.

In Nvidia Control panel and under manage 3D settings:
Change the Vertical sync to "ON".
Change the Power management mode to "Adaptive".

In madVR
Set (in madVR, under rendering - Windowed mode) present frames in advance to 1. (you can try other numbers as well, some have had good results with presenting 3 frames in advanced)

You can also try to disable (in madVR, rendering - general settings) use Direct3D 11 for presentation.
Try experimenting with queue sizes as well, I have had good results when increasing the CPU queue size to 24 and GPU queue size to 16.


The first three solved the micro stutter for me using a 2080 graphics card.

Your settings solved the issue!
I spent many nights awake without finding a solution!
Many, many thanks!

You are welcome.
RTX 20xx series are known for having these issues.

Glad to help.

Have a great sunday!

on my 1650S card, i had to only change present frames in advance to 1 from default of 8 and it solved micro stuttering for me.

my 1080TI card does not need any of these changes and works fine.  don’t know if this is a hardware/driver combined issue or not.

have an RTX 3090 arriving tomorrow to replace the 1080.  will be interested to see if adjustments are needed...

Glad I stumbled upon this topic! I've lived with micro stutter for years, from tv news channel scrolls to theater view navigation. And I recently upgraded from GTX1060 to GTX1660Ti, changed rendering methods, disabled smooth motion, and enabled FSE. I was still having micro stutter and frequent black screen when starting playback (FSE).

After changing the mentioned nvidia driver settings and madvr present frame in advance to 1, all of my issues are gone. Amazing!

note the RTX 3090 also required me to change the value of this madvr setting down to 1

only my 1080Ti of all three nvidia cards worked without issue

How is the 3090 looking?

..and enabled FSE. I was still having micro stutter and frequent black screen when starting playback (FSE)...

Unfortunately I was mistaken, still getting black screen too often when starting playback. Guess I'll have to give up on FSE (again).

How is the 3090 looking?

I use it this PC for games as well and it is simply amazing.  I can max out every game setting, with Ray Tracing, and games are consistently hitting 60FPS which is fine for my 4K set.  The speed is incredible.

I’m going to play around with maxing out madVR scaling as well to see how much it punishes the GPU.  For my 1080TI I did have to dial some settings back, especially with 4K60 content.

3D works - albeit full res top/bottom; I’ve moved on to latest nVidia drivers, so MVC output is no longer supported (though a group of folks maintain a package that “restores” 3D Vision).

I also coupled it with a new Valve Index and I can max that out too; VR is stunning.  Need more time to play around with watching 3D on the Index

What’s holding the 3090 back now is that I am on an older motherboard that doesn’t suppott PCIe 4.0 or 10th gen intel.  That will positively impact 3090 performance, so I know there’s even more headroom.

Hi.
Best Nvidia driver for movie playback (with madVR and HDR passtrough) is still 442.74?
Many thanks.
