I dont know, but LSFG cant create more quality frames from already bad frames, since RIFE had own artifacts, LSFG just doubles/triples/quadruples the amount.

For me, RIFE v4.15v2l x3 + LSFG x3/240 create much more consistent frames, fluid.

But LSFG is generating this on it's own without RIFE. Objects on the screen become so warped they become almost unrecognizable. But only with this one movie.

Anyway, thats better than 24>240 natively which pulls my GPU at above 80 degrees huh, also not smooth.

Warped? You can play with tolerances, warped UI? Can play with UI detection thresholds.

Try adaptive mode target.

I need 290 lmao, some VF filters ignored in 291 build, cant find this build in internet.

Update: I FIX ISSUE MYSELF AGAIN.

@Chainik, what happened to new update? The mpv update broken, prevents filters usage.

Or just put download link to 0.40.0-290 please?

Its always system dependant, on my machine, SVP (RIFE) works better than friends beast setup, different drivers can make huge difference, especially on high end machines.
As 4070 user, can clearly state 50 series lmao expensive thing, no need for LSFG? You cant do 4K X10 on 5090 yet!

Im talking about people who have very high refresh monitors like 360 Hertz or even greater! I will upgrade to 600Hz monitor soon!

So what do you do about the fast motion artifacts?

Nothing, just doing RIFE x3 + 240Hz target!

For performance increase, just change HDR support checkbox to OFF, that's the real memory hog.

After further tweaking, i think these settings actually improve smoothness, giving stable fps:

Thanks Ricky!

But why do you need 1000 fps? You have 1000 hertz monitor? Your settings just prevents LSFG from work, but continuously synchronize to monitor, which is an trick btw.

Frametime_buffer_size: should be higher than 3 for general frame generation workloads (1 will prevent to generate frames)
Real_timestamp_tolerance: by default, Fixed generation modes use own presentation tolerance, not applicable for overlap values.
Note1: Why buffer higher than 3? Because LSFG will stutter time-to-time even with huge headroom, tested, tweaked, always the same, cant say about 50 series users!
Note2: About overlap values, for example, when you set tolerance to -0.51 for Fixed 2x LSFG mode, you will see weird flashing artefacts, -0.50 works as intended!

Queue target: the difference between 0/2 vary about 80% extra latency in cost of better handling capture variations!
Max frame latency: theres no dramatic difference between 3/15 value, for me, during Crew Motorfest (capped 60 fps online game), 0/4 works better than 1/3 respectively!

Capture: WGC is not reccomended at all, because performance suffers under high GPU loads, but deal w/overlays, DXGI will work worse with overlays, but doesnt suffers too much, like video capture, Discord, etc!

Only Windows 11 users can use WGC for latency purposes, measured WGC under medium headroom, lower than DXGI queue targeted to 1! Insane? Yeah, but not neccessary!

Theres no black insertion setting, I trying to implement BFI/CRT shader in timestamp interval, no progress!

LSFG was on sale so I bought a copy. I was able to get very smooth motion with 3.1 4x multiplier and 2.7 x2 or x4 (can't remember). Used by itself there is almost no hit on the GPU but the artifacts are obvious and pretty horrible. With SVP I was finally able to get them working together. But, LSFG has horrible artifacts for fast motion which ever way you use it which is a shame because otherwise it would be great.

1) The LSFG alone provides better frame/motion handling than basic SVP algorithm at any settings, also better UI detection, the text and UI elements almost ignored for interpolation!
2) Dont mix SVP/LSFG algorithms together, RIFE/LSFG for better quality and perfect smoothness levels!
3) You can play with CONFIG through Lossless directory, you can make zero interpolation look better, magic!

About 3rd: when you want flatten the playback out of RIFE alone - make sure you edited framerate_tolerance to 1 and interplation multiplier to 1, which would trigger interesting things, better suited with black frame insertion, CRT shader, not implemented yet!

1. It does seem overall to be smoother than even Rife
2. I meant Rife/LSFG.
3. With multiplier set to one, I get massive judder with or without Rife so it's not a GPU thing.

OK. I've found the issue. Rife is smoother with MPV than MPC but GPU usage is a little heavier. VR pushes it over the top so there is no headroom. But it seems to work with LSFG for MPC.

3. Theres no judder with proper CONFIG .cfg parameters, you can make no interpolation looks better, LSFG has a lot of hidden tricks! Thats GPU and backend thing!
1. Ofcourse LSFG smoother, tested many times, smoothness is our priority!

Hidden trick: with proper .cfg parameters, for example, you want to trigger 2x LFC instead of monitor 3x LFC strategy, works!
Example: video container 24 fps > 2x interpolation w/real timestamp tolerance 1, with that hybrid I can actually activate black frame insertion thing!

The end result is smooth without the Rife v4.25 vertical motion artifacts and only very occasional micro-stutters.

Stutter-free: 565.90 driver (threshold 15%)
External capture: 72 fps (to count every single VRR jitter/stutters)

Rule: everything less than 8% of movie duration can be considered as stutter-free!

Has HAGS improved enough that you no longer recommend turning it off for RIFE?
What’s the current advice — keep it on unless it causes stutter, or disable it for smoother playback?

Depends on operation system, for me, as Windows 10 user, turning off HAGS improves realtime playback (faster seek) and transcoding speeds about 10% average!
Stutters depends on GPU drivers, for me, 565.90 stable is the smoothest driver ever tested!

Not only flow scale or generation type can make a difference at high loads, play with different settings, as LSFG professional owner, can say proper settings!

What LS settings are you running? Just drop screenshot, dont use LSFG on 3D content, works differently!

Dont use LSFG when your performance already at peaks, LSFG about 8 times less resource-sensitive, but you cant get 240FPS out-of-box when your system only allows 160 for example!

Never heard of Special K but it looks interesting. Some of what it does is kind of what I'm doing but with Windows 11.

BTW what do you do with the Sync intervals, disable it?

Update:I've been testing my new settings with fast action. But I just tested my new settings with slow panning shots and it forced me to make some changes to my original recommendations.

As of today my settings are SVP: Rife v4.25, IC 8%, Blend Adjacent Frames. MPV: Interpolation on, resample audio. GPU: 577 or 566.36. Windows 11 Optimization for Windowed Apps: MPV

Optical flow seems to also help possibly removing the need for the overclock but at the cost of the occasional major stutter so nope.

The sync intervals prevents NVIDIA default driver compositor deliver frames non-directly, monitor VRR in charge, but breaks at seek again!
As I said, this is just VRR framepacing issue through the driver level, older drivers or LSFG ontop prevents monitor spontaneous refreshes, as you can see, earlier, I noticed how much VRR jumps got through standard MPV playback on new stable drivers, which not happens with LSFG ontop or after SpecialK injection, SpecialK makes 72FPS content not only smooth, but fast, not sure how that effect occurs, tested Gemini movie at real 60FPS compared to 24>60 and was surprised how SpecialK deliver frames, but I dont know how to inject SpecialK through MPV swapchain directly!
