    GTX 460 forcing deinterlacing

    I got a new Geforce GTX 460 video card that seems to force deinterlacing on everything. Problem is that it does a really shitty job. Everything is really choppy/stuttery, it looks like it's blending frames, and framestepping back every other frame at the same time. It also doesn't perform IVTC...
