RTX3090 First Thoughts

<< < (2/3) > >>

I wonder where MadVR is going. It seems counterproductive to offer it for free when it can hamper MadVR Envy sells (which is totally undertandable ... and i actually dont mind paying for MadVR software if its development continues).

While latest version still offer large improvements over you stock TV upscaling/HDR ... it seems at top level its starts falling behind. Latest post in AVS forum seems to suggests Lumagen had caught up and surpass MadVR.

While price of 3090 is not comparable to Lumagen or MadVR Envy ... its a significant chunk ... wonder if its better now to go that rout now :/

I totally agree. For audio only I would have only my Media Server and Audio Endpoint Device - "My Devialet". My large Media Renderer is in principle for madVR with a large video card. Also madVR requires Windows and does not work on macOS or Linux.

So I am asking me the same - what's the future strategy upscaling/HDR...?

TheShoe:
So if you went with a madVR Envy or Lumagen, what would be the pipeline from source to screen?  If you were to use MC, I assume you would feed the video out (HDMI) of a PC into the lumagen/envy and then the HDMI out on that to your AVR - or you would put it between the AVR and TV/projector?

In that case how would you configure MC - would you use RO Standard or RO HQ?  If standard, then HDR encoded video would not work as I don’t believe it’s passed through.  Using HQ (madVR) would seem redundant....

I will say the 3090 combined with the last version of madVR is excellent.  And cheaper than either the envy or the lumagen.

jmone:
A post from Madshi suggested double madVR works and gives better results as using HTPC(ROHQ)  --> AVR --> Envy --> PC ... but was silent on what algos you would use on the PC vs the Envy (note: I'm not in the market for an Envy so will be sticking with my HTPC).  The next GPU upgrade I'll look at in due course will be if swapping out the 1660Ti's I have in my 2 x HTPC is worth it, but I'm waiting to see where madVR lands with the current developments.

Hi.
I have madVR Envy pro and I still use my pc as media server. My chain is pc (RTX2060) with JRiver MC27 and madVR -> processor (Trinnov A16) -> madVR Envy pro -> Sony vpl-vw870es projector.
Basically I use two gpu: the RTX2060 with madVr to upscale res, chroma, luma and for dithering algo; Envy pro for dynamic tone mapping and 3dlut color calibration. The results are amazing.
Naturally I set madVR HDR and color calibration on passtrough and I use the only Nvidia driver that works with HDR passtrough (442.74).
