Video card for entry level HTCP - smooth 4K video/movies playback

[Psyside]

Ok, new problem now. MPHC is totally smooth, but Chrome 4K videos are absolutely the same even if i forced HW acceleration, tried flash and HTML5 same....

What can it be done to fix this?

 

[NTMBK]

Chrome is a mess for hardware acceleration. Try IE11, it usually seems to do a better job.

 

[Psyside]

It does MILES better job, but i just prefer to use Chrome, no one found a way to fix Chrome/4K?

 

[Psyside]

So anyone can help about Chrome?

I got it working, but i found out that only the 32 bit version support madVR, problem being, i cant get the 32 version to work no matter what due to some strange bug, i install the X86 version, but it does install the 64 bit instead? deleted the downloads, and tried from scratch, used revo uninstaller, and tried to even reboot after, did this 3 times, nothing helps.

Always 64 bit installed at the end, even i use 32 bit installer?

The 64-bit label is the operating system, not the version of MPC-HC. If you installed the 32-bit version of MPC-HC, then that is what you have.

I don't think so, madVR is saying - unavailable?

Remember codecs are 32 or 64bit. And you need 32 or 64bit for 32 or 64bit players.

So if you take WMP that you got 2 editions of in a 64bit Windows, they dont use the same codecs of the 32 and 64bit versions. That may be your issue. 64bit today still got poor support.

So there is no way to "install" and use madVR on x64 bit 8.1?

32bit version with a 32bit player under 64bit OS.

32bit version with a 32bit player under 64bit OS.

what do you mean? i download the 32 bit version, but it doesn't work. Do i have to use 32 bit OS?

It's exactly as Shintai says. Install MPC-HC 32bit and MadVR, and you're set. You do not need a 32bit OS.

Follow the instructions for MadVR and you should be set.

 

[Psyside]

Oh no one told me that i need to install the madVR package (or maybe i missed that part)

Thanks so much everyone!

BTW this is what i set, is it good or i need to change anything else in order to get even better image quality?

What about enabling YAVID, and software deinterlacing?
