thank you very much for the insane performance preset, it really improves the fidelity and noise levels

>Is there a way to use interpolation without display-resample?
that doesn't make sense
>>53598030
>Is there a way to use interpolation without display-resample?
No. It's required, end of story. You might find some old builds that don't have that requirement, but there's a reason why the devs put it there.
>>53599253
>Hurr you need to buy 144Hz TV and monitors otherwise your setup a shit!

i have a cheap-ass AOC "60Hz" monitor, and it takes a whole 1 line per additional mode in xorg.conf, if you have the time to tweak mpv, surely you can add some new modelines for properly timed output as well
>>53599342
if your display is really incapable, that's fine, interpolation is better than nothing, but most monitors can do 50/72Hz in addition to their advertised 60Hz, and i think it's silly to use interpolation when you don't need to
>>53599357
Not everyone has that possibility, as not everyone uses GNU/Linux. I guess you can say "get rid of homosex. It's shit", but I'd rather sit with the interpolation option than fucking around with what is bound to give screen tearing up the ass on NVIDIA cards. X11 and NVIDIA can't keep multi-monitor setups tear-free unless all the monitors runs at the same refresh rate, which won't happen in my setup.
So no, that's not an option, and I doubt anyone can see the difference anyway.
For some reason whenever I go full screen with MPV is either freezes or runs at a very low framerate. What should I do to the mpv.conf file to fix this?
>>53599425
I run a display at 59.96 Hz and a display at 60.00 Hz on my NVIDIA card and don't get any tearing.

What you need to do is add:[fs-black-out-screens

>>53599511
HD 3000 might have a hard time.
I'd recommend setting hwdec on for such low-end graphics cards. Other than that I guess you can test around with the lower performance ones. It depends on what you're trying to play (HEVC for example is probably going to be quite hard for it with higher performances).
My laptop's HD4000 managed a custom high performance preset back when I had it though with scale=spline36 instead (default in opengl-hq). Same with the HD5500 I have now.

that's true, interpolation only makes sense with display-resample, but display-resample doesn't depend on interpolation, you can use it by itself
>>53599621
yes, it does
>>53599583
It will use superxbr as the prescaler: "A relatively fast prescaler originally developed for pixel art."
The downscale part of it is to prevent overkilling the prescaling as it isn't needed when you reach a certain point.

Do you need :deband: in your config for it to be enabled? I've heard several people say it's on by default if you use opengl-hq but I read the manual earlier and it seemed to imply that it's not
And also, can someone with a better knack for video artifacts look at this image and tell me if those are ringing artifacts around the edges of the netflix lettering? Would enabling the antiring filter in mpv help with that?

>>53599681
>nd also, can someone with a better knack for video artifacts look at this image and tell me if those are ringing artifacts around the edges of the netflix lettering?
Not quite sure, it might be ringing but it might just be be artifacts due to chroma subsampling.
>Would enabling the antiring filter in mpv help with that?
Try adding:cscale-antiring=1:scale-antiring=1to the end of your VO line.
>>53599694
That card doesn't have 10-bit support, you need a Quadro or FirePro card.

Serious question, not trying to start any media player wars or anything like that. Now that I have a GTX 970 I followed this guide for MPC-HC. It seems to be doing a pretty good job of pushing playback quality, going so far as to draw enough power to make my lamp flicker a bit (which okay, is kind of crazy).
https://files.nyaa.se/HOW_DID_I_PLAYED_BACK.txt
