Warner306, about custom refresh rates in madVR.

is it necessary to have a different hz video playing in the background before we select a new one to customize?

can we not just call madVR (ctrl + s) without any video playing (madVR is in 60hz desktop mode) then select the mode we want to edit then play a video for the 30min+.
once the optimization is done select a new timing mode.

Never tried it that way. Can you open the madVR control panel without playing a video? Never tried that either. 

 just tried it and no you cant open madVR from the kodi gui without playing a video. the way i have been doing it, is i have a shortcut on my desktop to madvr exe and i have been using that to set up the custom mode then launching kodi and playing a video. it does give optimized timings list but for some strange reason it make absolutely no frigging odds what timings i choose as i still cant get past 1 frame repeat every 4-5min.

i'm beginning to think my drivers are messed up. i done a clean with DDU then installed the latest drivers but my desktop still reverted to 50hz which i had it set at before, if the drivers were full removed then the desktop should have resorted to 60hz with the fresh drivers.

think i'll try removing the drivers again.
