I agree though, I wouldnt bother upgrading before you get your TV, check out the RX 560 first, you will probably find its perfectly fine.

Guess it's time to reinstall Kodi/DSPlayer and start from scratch. My settings must be messed up.

 There have already been many benchmarks. AMD cards are mostly slow at NGU neural network image processing. They are maybe half as fast as Nvidia, if not more.

For example, an RX 580 can run NGU high if you lower the setting for chroma upscaling. As where a GTX 1060 can run NGU high for upscaling without much effort and some level of NGU for chroma. Some other processing is also slower on AMD. It isn't just spitballing.

MADVR .17, are you up to date on both MADVR and LAV filters, remembering that you have to update the LAV filters manually in the KODI install folder.
