Topic: does going from 1080p to 1440p increase requirements too much?

anyone that has gone to 1440p can share your experience?

currently i get about 60-70% on both cpu and gpu usage (madvr) at 1080p, i'm thinking about going for a 1440p monitor, but not sure if it will increase my requirements too much and end up shooting my feet

if anyone wonders, i'm on a 2500k@4.5 gtx 720 with custom svp profile  3:1 72hz, and madvr using kcp on high preset

edit: tried running the monitor at 720p  with a a 1080p video, seems like the scaling needs extra gpu, so i had to reduce madvr to medium preset, cpu/gpu usage where about the same then.

FYI, SVP will install and update everything besides XYSubfilter. If I were you, I'd just use that instead of KCP, and just install XY yourself.


Yeah, 1440p will increase GPU usage with high MadVR settings. But the the difference between high and medium settings is pretty hard to notice.

And don't forget the key point that SVP's CPU/GPU utilization for 1080p videos will be identical - using a display resolution higher than the video resolution makes no difference to SVP.

Yeah, SVP's load is only affected by the video's resolution and the refresh rate. It wouldn't care if you were using an 8k display.

Sort of - by default it will downscale the video before doing interpolation of the video's resolution is higher than your display resolution which therefore results in lower CPU/GPU utilization.

You should be fine. There's not a huge difference imo.

I have a 4k h264 source a max oced gtx 1060 and a phenom 2 1090T. Any way to make it work, since my cpu is way too slow. If I set it to faster it just doubles each frame without doing anything on it. If I make it more quality the frame rate is like 7 fps
