People don't buy AMD. Not GPUs anyway.

I took your advice and switched to an NVIDIA graphics card for the first time in 20 years.
Just one question: will NVIDIA ever release DLSS for video (24fps at x2/3/4. The equivalent of AMD’s Fluid Motion, starting with the GCN family)? 🙁
And I’ve never seen such ridiculous graphics card fan settings.

You want to bring video playback "soap opera effect" stuff that everyone complains about to the PC?

The jutter is because 24hz video does 3-2 pull down. Where one frame is shown for three frames, and the next for two, then three, then two, etc.

The smoothing option you are looking for creates fake smeared frames between the two. So rather than looking razor sharp you get real frames, then soft blurred frames.

Modern video players can do the processing themselves, or even better sync playback to the refresh rate of the display. Or just run things at 120hz and the problems all go away 24x5 = 120.

Utilities that can smooth out video
- SVP — a paid utility developed by a Russian team.
- Some sort of experimental version of a local neural network, which is paid and already outdated.
- BlueskyFRC, completely free and ad-free,which utilises a special Fluid Motion engine in AMD graphics cards without placing a load on the processor (and something similar in the latest versions of Intel).

72 frames per second — that’s my personal request to the developer, as it’s a simple multiple of 3 for monitors with a 75 Hz refresh rate. Combined with AMD FreeSync, it looks defenetly good. Any film turns into a ‘documentary’, and Cameron’s Avatar becomes a fu.... cartoon.

Do you think that if I write to Jensen Huang, just as I wrote to the developer of the BlueskyFRC filter, he might also create an easy-to-use filter that’s compatible with the MPC-HC player?
P.S. To be honest, I haven’t actually written any letters to Mr Huang yet. But who knows?

dlss for 24fps video is not usefull because there aren't enough frame. You will have ghosting and lots of artefact.

dlss for video would be usefull only if video were 60 fps native.

NVIDIA offers RTX Video Super Resolution and RTX Video HDR. Both which improve how videos look.

But they aren't for refresh rate. That can be handled by the player. You're asking for the wrong thing.

Just avoid holding it in that way

I’ve been using video smoothing for over 10 years, ever since the Radeon HD 7870. I like it.
NVIDIA graphics cards don’t have this feature, and there are no plans to add it. That’s a fact.
That said, I’ve already finished all three single-player games with RTX (the ones I was interested in).
But I need to smooth videos every day....

By the way, before the AMD fanboys start flooding in, let’s have a chat amongst ourselves—us owners of those divine NVIDIA cards with their brilliant drivers.
Just between us and the whole internet.
How do I adjust the fan curve in the NVIDIA app?
In the buggy AMD drivers, open the Adrenalin tab and move it manually as shown in the screenshot.
c2290080517be164568053090132473f770a2264.jpeg

Since Mr Huang Jensen only cares about the quality of his own leather jacket, nVidia’s partners are churning out utter rubbish.

What exactly is the problem?

When the temperature reached 45 degrees, the fans on the same Sapphire RX580 graphics card revved up to 900 rpm (out of a possible 3,500), continued to run until the temperature had dropped by 5 degrees (within 10–30 seconds), and then switched off. The cycle lasted around 20 minutes.

The current RTX, upon reaching 45 degrees, attempts to start the fans at 30% speed. As NVIDIA’s BIOS has long since moved away from percentage values in favour of absolute RPM values, the controller has to synchronise with the fans after they start.
At low speeds, it does not have time to do this.
The result is something like this: the fans start spinning (2–3 revolutions), no synchronisation, the fans stop. Repeat.
As a result of these three attempts, the card cools down by 1 degree.
In other words, the BIOS doesn’t think the fan has started up; it thinks the card has magically cooled down all by itself.
The cycle repeats every 2-3 minutes.

If the heat build-up is more intense and the start occurs at 45–50% speed, the fan control algorithm behaves just like the bugged AMD cards, i.e. normally.

Perhaps this little known player called VLC? https://download.videolan.org/testing/vlc-rtx-upscaler/

You've really gotten off topic as this thread is about 32-bit PhysX. You may want to start a few thread to dig into this more.

Oh, thank you very much, it works perfectly.
It launches, tries to open an .mkv video file, and then closes.

You may not have noticed, but I replied to that post.

And the most interesting thing is that I followed that advice to the letter.
And ‘Houston, I've got a problem’ 😀

PS. If anyone doubts that I belong to the elite circle of NVIDIA users, here’s a screenshot.
What’s more, I’ve got a graphics card from the future, unlike all those losers.
I’ve already got mine, whereas deliveries are only scheduled for June.

The RTX 3060 is a good card, I have one of those as well.

If you need help with tweaking some settings, you may want to open a new thread. I or someone else might be able to help with that. First thing I'd suggest is to undervolt the card, so that it runs cooler and quieter. As for the fan profile, that's typically handled by MSI Afterburner. But as others have said, that is kinda off-topic for this thread.

Definitely not. Nvidia wants RTX-only and they want a certain level of performance and compatibility, so older generations are out. The 3000-series is likely as far back as they will go for re-manufacturing and it checks all the boxes that they want checked, while meeting consumer's basic gaming needs for current titles.
