Change video drivers. That almost never happens to anyone else.

Any of the drivers that pass correct HDR metadata should work for straight HDR passthrough.

Hi!
I am wondering how to optimize my picture quality.
I have a GTX 1080 TI and 5930K at 4,5 ghz.
There are just to many settings, and it confuses me.
Scaling alorithems?
Lav video settings - Video Decoder, Hardware decoder to use?
Do I have to choose the 1080 TI in order to use it?
With default MadVR settings I would expect the fan to spin up as it with be in use but it doesnt.
Asus GPU Tweak crashes Kodi so I cant see how much in use the gpu is.

Thanks for the great guide! It has helped me get things going. I currently am using the LAV Filters that are incorporated into Kodi DSPlayer. I have current versions on my system however Kodi hasn't been configured to use them. Is it recommended to use the current versions with Kodi DSPlayer? If so what is the best path to follow in order to do so?

Another question....
Has anyone experienced noise audible from speakers and your graphic card itself? From my research it is called "coil whine". I unfortunately have and it is frustrating to say the least. What is interesting is that it appears to only occur under certain conditions. The condition that is most likely to cause it is playing a video utilizing the features of MadVR. Adjusting settings within MadVR seems to effect the tone of the sound and its apparent volume. Additionally playing a video without using MadVR results in the noise going completely away. I have tried changing a variety of things including the card itself but the sound remains. I have gotten it to a level in which I can not hear the graphics card from my seated position away from the computer. It is still audible from my speakers if I turn my AVR's volume most of the way down. I cant hear it at listening volumes so I am trying to let it go however I would prefer it not be there. The current card I am using is a 2060 Super. My power supply is new and of a high quality. I cant return the card but have already exchanged it through an RMA process with the replacement being slightly worse than the original. Perhaps its as simple as that I chose the wrong brand.
Thanks

It sounds like coil whine, but that wouldn't come from the speakers. Are you sure it isn't the power supply fan? That is often louder than the GPU fan. When the GPU starts to throttle down, does the sound remain? Coil whine should subside as fast as the GPU load is removed.
