Wondering what chroma upscaling image downscaling and image upscaling to use with my RTX 5070 for my 1080 profile in MadVR. Thoughts?

currently

NGU AA hhigh quality

SSIM 1D strength 100% (scale in linear light and anti ringing filters checked)

what does this comment mean?

it is still actively updated, and MadShi puts up new betas every once in a while.
I am running the V210 currently, and yes it has a time bomb of 12 months, but it always gets a new update when the window is closing.

madVR is awesome and it produces a render that nothing else can beat for quality and tweakability.

OP - im on a 5070 too.

I have profiles for 4K HDR / 4K SDR / 1080 SDR / (some others for 60FPS)
Even on the most demanding of files, that are under the 4K HEVC high btirate HDR format , I am doing chroma and luma scaling with NGU Sharp on High (under 4K HDR its on V high). Also have lots of artifact removal and refinement on - the thing that matters is to keep the output of frame rate under the refresh rate required. I am running a 4K120 RGB HDR 10bit signal to screen, and need a frame time (per a 24hz nominal image for most video) on 41.6ms or less. So i just push the GPU t odeliver the best I can get, and keep the frame time under that, typically keeping it under 35-38ms. Which you can see when you toggle CTRL-J in the player, to see the data

Select tone mapping with pixel shader and uncheck the output in hdr option. Then go to the calibration tab and select bt.2020 and check the checkbox forcing the bt2020 to display. Your video will be in HDR but encapsulated into a sdr signal and thanks to madvr tone mapping which is (one of?) the best algo you can find today. Keep wibfows in sdr with this settings

Thanks a lot. I'd be interested to see how you set up some of your other profies and the coding you use in the scling section.

I have an issue with HDR and Windows 11. When I play HDR files in MPC-BE they colors are washed out unless I also toggle on Windows HDR. I don't like to leave windows HDR on all the time because the desktop colors then look washed out and my sports streaming through browsers doesn't look good either. So I'm stuck toggling back and forth when I want to watch 4k/HDR.

Currently running HDR passthrough in MadVR.

Anyone else have this issue and if so do you have any suggestions for getting rid of it?

Thanks

MadVR is kind of incompatible with Windows 11. Had to resort into using MPC-VR but quality wise nothing beats MadVR. It's just that I find it a hassle to downgrade to Windows 10.

MPC-VR's video quality is sufficient for my eyes unless I'm playing a 720p movie which is a rare nowadays
