Why were you getting dropped frames from MadVR?  That video card should be more than capable of watching 1080p videos.

Just want to point out that I've switched over to PotPlayer x64 and the CPU usage has gone way down. 
There's almost no artifacts now.  I no longer use MadVR but instead use EVR custom present as the video renderer.

edit* artifacts masking should be set to strong not strongest

What's HRC?
My monitor has frame skipping issue when I overclocked it to 75hz.  I need an AMD card for freesync.

Is your monitor capable of 48Hz or 72Hz, possibly via a custom resolution?  If so, then using that would be better:

Ya I guess I can do 48hz on the monitor.  Just too lazy to change it back and forth lol
I don't mind some artifacts.  They only happen in fast moving scenes.

1. Your CPU utilization will vary considerably depending on the video resolution, your display resolution,  the codec of the video, and the color depth of the video.

2. SVP has its own built-in function for automatially cropping black bars, so there's no need to use MadVR for that

3. If you aren't going to use MadVR, then you might as well use "Enhanced video renderer (custom presenter)" in MPC-HC; note that enabling "D3D Fullscreen" can reduce CPU utilization some (though it's more noticeable on low-end systems)*.



*also setting your resizer to "Bilinear" (not PS 2.0) can reduce CPU utilization, but on semi-modern systems this difference is usually quite minor as well and it can be quite detrimental to your video quality compared to using "Bicubic".


I'm just playing mostly 1080p h.264 files on a 3840x1600 resolution monitor.  I've changed the resolution on my monitor to 1080p and it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Some of the movies where the aspect ratio flips back and forth from 21:9 to 16:9, madvr handles it perfectly -example Interstellar and the Dark Knight.
I will try MPV player without madvr and see if theres a noticeable difference.

Edit**  I installed reclock and the audio sync issue is gone.  I guess I will just run SVP in movie x2 mode.

Hi,

What is the considered normal CPU usage when running SVP 4 with MPC-HC?  It seems to be using 70% of my CPU at all times.  Without SVP turned on, cpu load is very light for MPC.
I am running an i7-4770k overclocked to 4.3ghz.  I am using MadVR without any "enhancement" settings but just to detect and remove black bars.  I have the paid version of SVP if that makes any difference.
I guess I am okay with the CPU usage but I'd like to lower it if possible.
Tried running at movie x2 which is ~48fps but there seems to be any audio desync.  ~60hz looks best right now.


Thanks
