Today, I tested the new update for madVR for media players and I got good performance with good quality on EVGA Geforce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked. Here it is tested on 1680x1050 monitor:

480p 60fps:
Chroma upscaling: NGU low quality
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: NGU AA
-Luma quality: High
-Chroma quality: Normal (Bicubic60 AR)
-Upscale quality: Lanczos3 AR
-Downscale quality: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Off
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 13 ms
Max rendering: 14 ms

480p 30fps:
Chroma upscaling: BilateralSoft
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: NGU AA
-Luma quality: Very High
-Chroma quality: High (NGU-Low)
-Upscale quality: Lanczos3 AR
-Downscale quality: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Off
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 25 ms
Max rendering: 27 ms

-With Upscale Sharpen:
Upscaling refinement: Sharpen Edges Default, AR
Average rendering: 29 ms
Max rendering: 30 ms

-4x Upscale:
NGU Sharp Luma quality: Direct 4x High
Average rendering: 21 ms
Max rendering: 23 ms


720p 60fps:
Chroma upscaling: NGU low quality
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: NGU
-Luma quality: Low
-Chroma quality: Greyed Out (Bicubic60 AR)
-Upscale quality: Lanczos3 AR
-Downscale quality: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Off
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 14 ms
Max rendering: 15 ms

720p 30fps:
Chroma upscaling: NGU low quality
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: NGU AA
-Luma quality: High
-Chroma quality: High (NGU-Low)
-Upscale quality: Lanczos3 AR
-Downscale quality: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Off
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 29 ms
Max rendering: 30 ms

Removing the image enhancements and NGU downscale reduction quality would reduce the ms by 1 or 2. I didn’t encounter frame drops on 30fps, 25fps, or 24fps videos.

1080p 60fps
Chroma upscaling: NGU AA low quality
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: Jinc AR
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Off
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 13 ms
Max rendering: 15 ms

1080p 30fps:
Chroma upscaling: NGU AA low quality
Image downscaling: SSIM 1D 100% + AR + LL
Image upscaling: Jinc AR
Upscaling refinement: Off
Artifact removal - Debanding: Medium/High
Artifact removal - Deringing: Off
Image enhancements: Sharpen Edges 0.5 + AR + AB 50%
Dithering: Error Diffusion 2
Average rendering: 20 ms
Max rendering: 21 ms

-Downscale:

Smooth Motion: Enable
Trade Quality for Performance: Unchecked all

I take a look at two websites for profiles and posted preferences.

I mess around the settings and post both 60fps and 30fps profiles for performance reasons. I prefer looking around 60fps profile since I have certain 60fps content and anime videos with hybrid frames per second, and also needed the performance if playing interlaced content that is deinterlaced to 60fps. I get a stable 60fps with no drops when testing for two minutes. If you do get a drop of frame later on when max rendering time is at 16 ms when playing 60fps content or hybrid video, turn chroma and/or downscale to Mid. I said this since I don’t know the performance of non-factory overclocked 750 Ti cards, but they’re pretty similar. Also, deringing filter can cause minor artifacts when only image doubling as I was testing several sources, it would have minor fuzzes in lines and only shown in those algorithms.
