Madvr anyone using?

Yep - me. I use it in conjunction with MPC-HC for blu-ray/MKV playback. Some purists say that you need a fairly hi-spec PC (mine is W10/5675C/Nvidia950) & to set it up properly can be simple or complicated (lots of guides on the internet, I used the one on AVS forum) It does improve 1080p, no idea about 4k as I dont have a 4k display.
 
if you search I posted ref on this before, afaik its sd->fhd upscale capability is not accelerated the by graphics card ?
 
I used to but went back to normal in MPCBE as I found it didn't really improve quality that much, other than a few select files, but was annoying in that the full screen OSD was poor, you can't skip properly sometimes, etc.

for mpchc that is a characteristric of the d3d presentation mode, which otherwise, uses less resources than opengl, which has the more fancy interface

my previous comment was wrong - you can get GPU acceleration - after looking again at older thread ref
 
interesting - i will need to look into this for my HTPC

I don't see how you can add quality, it needs to be there in the first place.

So I can see purists being against this as whatever it adds wasn't supposed to be there or what the director intended.
 
it is using a better algorithm for upscaling - look at those images

I have not searched recently, but finding a video excerpt upscaled from sd/fhd to 4k with madvr and re-encoded at hevc would be useful, so that anyone could check out potential madvr benefits, versus their 4k tv's native upscale capabilities.

However - Oblivion was upscaled to 4k and many people think it lost detail (but gained hdr) versus playing the blu-ray, so, if that was using bleeding edge technology, it may not be worthwhile using madvr for fhd->4k upscale. ?
 
i used MADvR for a while. i spent longer messing with the settings to get that perfect picture than i did enjoying what i was watching. I now only use it on my cinema because on a big screen its more noticable. it does use a lot of resources. i have an i5 3450 and a amd 270. it doesnt max them out but does need some power.
