I'm not sure why there is a difference. There is a chance DXVA2 copy-back is producing inaccurate rendering stats. You are already getting way more performance from a GT 1030 than I've seen before. Try pushing the settings to about 37 ms and see if you get any dropped frames. If not, then the rendering times must be accurate.

Also, make sure D3D11 is set to Automatic (Native) and not the GPU. If you select the GPU, it reverts to a slower copy-back.

 What you consider to push the settings? We take the group of 1080p23 for this example. After playing a while with the settings this is the most stable config I have:



If we change only the chroma from Low to Medium some frames are dropped. About 1/2 per second:


Please be free to recommend or change as you think.

I've tested a very similar video but this case 1920x800 and these are the stats:


Honestly I can't appreciate any difference between NGU Sharp Low/Medium. But even between Jinc/Jinc+AR/NGU. At this video quality level those differences are not perceived. 

By the way LAV Video is on DXVA2-Copy Back Native and Automatic. If I set to D3D11 and auto the stats become higher and video impossible to be played. 

Thank you for your help.
