Video Hardware for JRVR
Smack:
Would you recommend a 3060 (ti) instead or better what is the lowest priced gpu to do upscale in high options and dynamic tonemapping ? I hope the gpu is powerful enough for all settings.

Thanks jmone for interesting test results from practice. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=post;quote=915585;topic=132075.0;last_msg=915865
What CPU and RAM are you using? 2x 8GB RAM should be sufficient?
The new RTX 3050 is a modernised GTX 1660ti. The benchmark results for both models are close to each other. A GTX 1660 Super is in the same performance level, although the 1660 Ti is a few frames better than the 1650 Super. https://youtu.be/aZoIZyNqIos?t=496
The linked benchmarks were measured for games, where the demands on the graphics card are higher for 3d than for 2d of a video.

It's too variable based on content for specific recommendations, but if you want the best quality upscaling available, buy the best GPU you can afford.

I've always like the price performance ratio of mid range cards like the 1660Ti. It was also a good choice at the time as it did not have the price premium associated with DLSS which we don't use in HTPCs. I'm running two of them in SFF boxes and don't have any complaints about the quality of the image it produces with JRVR. The purpose of the comparisons is to give an idea of what you can expect with the Low End (iGPU), Mid Range (1660Ti), High End (3090).
In the mid range, expect that you can run most but not all JRVR settings on "high" across all media type. With the 1660Ti I have to drop from FSRCNNX16 to FSRCNNX8 on some material ... but I'm not sure I can tell the difference anyway (law of diminishing returns).
CPU and Memory is far less important. The low end is the NUC7i5, the 1660Ti's are running in 16gb with i5-7500 and i5-??. The 3090 has a i9-11000K with 64GB. Again, a mid-range CPU and 16gb is fine. I upgrade the GPU far more often than the CPU/RAM on the HTPC (note: I did think I had to upgrade these older HTPC due to their "official" lack of Win11 Support.... but they run it fine).

Thanks jmone for your tipps.
So the 3050 will do the job I think if the GPU is as powerful as an 1660Ti.
The most important feature for me will be the dynamic tonemapping (the last movie i watched was Dune (2021) and it was on some scene way to dark). My Epson has a target peak ~ 50 nits so the tonemapping is really important.
Upscale should be better than my epson i hope.
The 3050 is offered some times for ~ 350 €. Next Time i see one i think i order it. The only problem is that the cards only have maximum 8 GB Ram.
The 3060 would be the card i really like to have but with a price over 600€ it is way too much for me :(
I want a GPU which has a good upscaling performance and does dynamic tonemapping.
