Please use PNG rather than BMP since it gives identical lossless quality with a smaller filesize (sometimes much smaller).

Then use VP9 and MP4 (VP9 preferred). It is the best choice for you. As I know they are the most popular formats in Youtube.

Actually they're pretty much the only formats on YouTube - the other formats only exist as one or two resolutions purely for the sake of legacy compatibility reasons.

OK, but the issue the topic creator is referring to is about SVP's GPU-acceleration rather than his GPU's DXVA decoder performance.

EDIT:

eixan wrote:

when I have GPU acceleration on in SVP my computer can't even handle 480pc 144fps content.

He clearly means content interpolated up to 144fps because, if he meant native 144fps content, then this wouldn't be an issue to ask on the SVP forum.  Not only that, but native 144fps videos have got to be incredibly rare (native 120fps videos are rare enough as it is)

EDIT 2 Besides, the r7 240 is faster and less expensive than the gt 630 you mentioned - the only downside is that it seems to require a PCIe 3.0 slot, which eixan may not have.

EDIT 3: ...and I just found out that there's actually two different revisions of the gt 630 - one that's Fermi and another that's Kepler.

...but you still haven't answered the question on whether "hw decoder" means 'SVP GPU-compute' or 'LAVfilters DXVA2'.
R7 240 (by 10-30 USD).

Wait, DXVA2 hardware decoding or SVP GPU-acceleration?  Those are two very different things.

That's probably because it uses the older VLIW architecture which was pretty sub-par at GPU-compute.  GCN, used in the HD7000 series, is much faster at compute.

Interestingly enough, Nvidia kind of went the other way around - the Fermi architecture used in the 400 and 500 series was commonly better at GPU-compute than the 600 series (though his may be related to the fact that the none of the 600 series GPUs use "large kepler" aka GK110)

Just note that newer isn't always faster; in terms of performance you should almost always* ignore the first number of a CPU or GPU product since the first number is the equivalent of the year model on cars.

*I say almost because typically if all the other numbers are the same, like 6770 vs 7770, the one with the larger first number will be faster.  Also, the bigger the gap between the first number, the larger the difference - a HD7770 would be quite a bit faster than an HD4770 to the point that an HD7750 would probably be faster than said HD4770.

So my suggestion of disabling GPU acceleration doesn't sound so crazy now, does it? tongue

Anyway, back more to the issue at hand, has the topic creator tried running their monitor at 120hz instead?  Heck if you have the right model, you could even enable backlight strobing for reduced motion blur.

While it doesn't really solve the 144fps performance issue, it may very well actually look better in your eyes.

144hz and 144fps are not the same thing - your issue is that you're not getting 144fps.

Pretty much any video card can do 144hz; I ran 120hz back on an old Radeon 9600, could do 120hz on the Radeon 6310 integrated onto an AMD E-350 APU, and can do 125hz on the integrated Intel iGPU on my Pentium G3258.


Considering that you have a 6-thread CPU, it's very possible that could actually have better performance if you disabled GPU acceleration.

If you are insistant on getting a new GPU, then I personally would actually recommend something Radeon-based since they have better GPU-compute performance (unless you're talking about older architectures like the 5000 series vs fermi).

but a variable resolution video?

SVP does not determine the profile to use by the horizontal + vertical resolution but rather by the combined pixel amount of horizontal x vertical x framerate.  In particular, I find that 720x404 24fps videos, rather than using the profile with said resolution and framerate, end up using my 854x480 20fps video profile unless I specifically enable "Exclude profiles with different framerates" in 'Profile selection method'.

EDIT: Oddly enough though I just tested it on my desktop PC and what I describe doesn't happen even though it always occurs on my HTPC.

Let's put it this way - I don't think it's an accident that SVP's default profiles are 24fps rather than 23.976fps.

I never use ReClock since my monitor can already natively run at 90hz, 96hz, 100hz, and 120hz.  Not only that, but I'm an audiophile first and a videophile second, so the last thing I want is my audio to be resampled.

If you need some anime video content with high visual quality, I typically use Nostromo's AMVs:

Try higher quality 60fps videos though. I'm sure there's some around in blu-ray quality that you can always use for testing.

For such things I usually cheat and just use MKVtoolnix to set a 24fps or 30fps video to playback at 60fps. tongue

When I want a really high quality video I usually use one of the many demo videos linked in this thread:

I use SVP for 60fps considering my monitor regularly runs videos at 90hz, 96hz, and 100hz with strobing + black frame insertion (I lower my resolution slightly to do 120hz for 60fps content).

Besides, my comment on 60fps is purely regarding mashingan's hypothesis of dropped frames - I haven't had the time to investigate MPDN just yet.

Regarding the idea of frame-dropping, what happens if you try a 60fps video?

I personally always use the following 2 minute video as my 60fps guinea pig:
