Topic: MadVR & SVP 4 - Dual GPU - 4K @ 48-60 fps (i could use some advice)

I just ordered an RTX 5080 for use in gaming & upscaling movies to my 4K TV. I was going to sell my RTX 3080ti and buy a RTX 4060ti for a dual GPU setup with lossless scaling for gaming (as the 3080ti was overkill) and I'm now wondering if I should keep the 3080ti and use that for SVP 4. Does anyone know if I would see a noticable improvement compared to the 4060ti? or would it also be overkill. I could sell it and buy a 4060ti and profit etc... but i like muh smooth movies.

Secondly, I am curious if anyone uses lossless scaling for interpolation? perhaps it could be combined with SVP? idk...

*I've just learned about Nvidia smooth motion. I'm curious if that would be advantageous to deploy alongside SVP.

Thanks very much smile

One card is clearly more powerful than the other so it's your choice depending on your needs. There is no simple answer to your final question but a quick search of these threads will give you more information including a thread dedicated to using LSFG and SVP. But short answer, SVP out of the box and LSFG are very similar.  If you decide to use SVP with RIFE AI then MadVR adds extra GPU overhead which might favor LSFG which will be lighter on the GPU. LSFG and SVP can be combined. But with some considerable work and a decent GPU then SVP by itself is best overall. 

But the end result might depend on your usage and tolerance for artifacts. I have a low tolerance so I put in the work to get the best results with SVP. Others on here are fine using SVP with RIFE AI (for example) for smoothness and accept the artifacts or are lucky enough to watch content like Anime that doesn't highlight them too much.

If others want to give you a more definite answer then good luck because there are too many variables for any definite answers to make sense. But you may only understand this after you make your decision and try things out for yourself.
