New RIFE filter - 3x faster AI interpolation possible in SVP!!! (Page 100 of 100)

Yes SVP real time at 120 is no problem without Rife. I know SVP without Rife can run at even 240fps because I have done it. But with Rife 25+ SVP tops out at around 80fps.

Download and add manually those that you want to use.

It's about 2.5GB of RIFE and v2 models from 2023 and 2024 and most of them many of us never used.
There are almost no updates recently.
Each models needs to be computers before use for particular resolution (take up to coople of minutes each), this adds extra GBs.
Most users use only a few of them based of HW specification and video watched (Anime vs movies vs sport) and their liking.
This is not on-size-fits-all.

From my perspective, it doesn't make much sense to implement RIFE models management in SVP, see the reasons above.

Recently I noticed that setting my TV display refresh rate to 120Hz helps in reducing the workload when running at 120fps. Obvious I know. But what it means is that SVP only needs to perform a gentle smoothing operation which is well within it's capabilities and nvof is not needed either. For confirmation I tried running without SVP at 120hz and the jerkiness came back. Then I tried mvp interpolation on my PC and same thing happened. So SVP is definitely working and tweaked a little I see all the smoothness of RIFE but none of the obvious artifacts or occlusion errors.

Using the SVP "Automatic" profile and performance slider moved all the way across to "Higher Quality" I got this running at 70% on my integrated GPU. But some of the processing was still leaking into my 50 series so maybe it would be running at around 95% without it. The easiest option would be to set the refresh rate to the highest matching SVP rate, rerun SVP "Assess System Performance". I've tweaked it further to increase smoothness and remove all artifacts (so far). I don't think this is if this is TV model dependent because I'm using VR so any extra TV processing is probably lost.

P.S. On PC, when matching refresh rates, using Vulkan is the smoothest providing RIFE like fluidity with basic SVP settings. But depending on the config, some pixelation may occur when using Nvidia cards.

With Rife v4.25 an RTX 4080 does 60fps in real time using about 90% GPU. So you shouldn't be struggling with a 5080.  I'm not sure but I assume RIFE is still smoother than SVP at 60fps But if you have a 120fps TV then you might be better off not using RIFE for the reasons I mention above.

try video x 2 instead of x2.5

47fps 2X

Everything looks correct: memory is in dual channel, PCIe 4.0 is OK. No issues in games or under extreme load in DaVinci. This is odd, though: the GPU is at 99% usage, drawing 300-320W. CPU 45%. i5 12400, 32GB RAM.
Anyway... no big deal. It might be something weird, but it’s always worked like this for me. It’s nothing new.

Currently, these are my favourite SVP4 settings for anime

I find that removing the duplicate frames makes the anime appear much smoother.

These are my current settings for running at 120fps. I am no longer overriding PEL for quarter pixel accuracy as half a pixel is enough. I've found that Average Artifacts masking with the Standard SVP shader is the best combination for removing even the more difficult fast motion vertical artifacts. The other settings are down to your GPU capabilities, but this is the smoothest and most artifact free results I've had using SVP. The remaining difficult to get rid of double images can be reduced fuirther by overriding the main search algorithm to use SATD instead of SAD. However the SVP manual says that it is Extremely slow and do not use it! plus it's not even listed when you select "All Settings". But it does work if you want to try it.

I tried using these settings at 60fps. Fast motion and clarity are more or less the same, but slow pans are not quite as smooth and would require more work. I didn't check for artifacts but I doubt there would be any major difference. But at 120fps, these settings should provide smooth motion for problem slow pans and clarity for difficult to track fast action. Same as RIFE but without many of the problems, including vertical fast motion artifacts and occlusion errors. There may be other artifacts I have yet to find. But the most difficult ones I have previously listed with timestamps are fixed using these settings.

Small update:Mvg 12 px seems to be the SVP default, it's better so I'm using it. 8 px does the best job but at the cost of small artifacts with some edge cases.

@Chainik said in another thread that SVP Pro is the best. He's not wrong.

The later models are progressively heavier by 20% each iteration since 4.4 but offer very little improvement. The later models are mostly trained on anime.

4.4_v2 is literally 2x the performance (half the GPU usage) of 4.25. It doesn't make sense to use later versions after 4.4_v2 except mostly placebo.
