Massive frame drops in madVR + MPC-HC

[bigboyman]

My problem:
Even with all recommended "Trade quality for performance" options selected and fairly tame filtering I still get low performance (~15 fps when I should be getting at the very least 24, i.e, 10 frame drops per second). I really doubt a setup this old and widely-used takes hardware this good to run minimally well.

My bulid: ~2-3 year old ASUS gaming laptop with

• MPC-HC with LAV, madVR, CCCP, XYsubfilter and ASSmod (because they don't always both work)
• i7-6700HQ @ 2.60 GHz
• GTX 960 (4 GB)
• 16 GB DDR4 RAM
• 1TB HDD and 128GB SSD
• Windows 10

Probably useful info:

• It uses up nearly all of my GPU's time (yes, the dedicated GPU) but not so much the CPU
• Most of the GPU usage is for 3D (and a little bit for decoding)
• I have Vsync enabled but it doesn't seem to improve performance at all
• Integrated Graphics don't do anything (can't use both GPU's at once for the same thing)
• Render time is fairly low at the start of the video file leading me to suspect the GPU stores unnecessary frames (maybe changing GPU flush settings could help?)
• madVR takes too long to render the frames, which is the likely cause of his issue.
  Using CTRL+J I see frame render time usually hovers 70ms when it should take at most 1/24 ~ 42ms

Here's a link to my madVR and LAV settings

Your settings are pretty advanced. Create a folder called "ShowRenderSteps" within the madvr folder. Then the OSD (CTRL+J) will show where the time is spent.

You say at the beginnung of the video render times are ok, then too long. Is your GPU being throttled because it overheats/uses too much power? Did you monitor your GPU clock rates/power state yet?

GPU doens't seem to be throttled. Core clock stays pretty much constant, not to mention I have no energy saving options enabled, so I doubt it's a power issue.

"ShowRenderSteps" seems pretty useful but I can't see all of the text (too many lines). Any way I can display all of them / log them?
