Good question - good answer I like to investigate interesting for me topics. And this time it made new finding for me!
OK. I leave two enabled cores of my Intel Core i5-3570K. I turn off GPU-acceleration in decoding and in SVP. I swith MPC-HC from madVR to EVR (custom presenter) and disable pixel shaders. I did my CPU load measurements by SVP performance graph window. Avatar 720p sample from SVPmark was used.
CPU load:
renderer EVR (custom presenter) - 81%
renderer EVR (custom presenter) + option D3D Fullscreen - 86%
renderer Overlay - 73% -8%
change SVP shader: 11. Simple Lite to 11b. By blocks - 65% additional -8%
change Search radius from Small to Small and fast - 62% additional -3%
disabled Wide search - 62% no performance boost
override.js: analyse.main.search.distance = 1; - 60% additional -2%
override.js: analyse.main.search.distance = 0; - 39%!!! additional -21% picture more smooth and less artifacts! I was surprised!!!
CPU load reduced by two times! With visual no quality loss. Visual quality even increased. It is very impressive!
Try these customizations. All together or one-by-one. I think it will help you to save performance and to get more quality on your processor
