Artifacts like that would imply the image is being corrupted. So something more significant could be going on.
Are all the queues full during playback and are your rendering times under the frame interval time?

Greetings, friends.
A huge thank you to Warner306 and all to have contributed to the thread. Is there any more recent info regarding those of us with 1440p monitors? I saw this asked much earlier in the thread but it is several years old and about an outdated version madVR. I frequently watch both 1080p and 4k content. I have a 1080 Ti so power is not much of a concern.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion on the forums about using a 1440p resolution. The advice would be the same as any other output resolution: choose settings that keep your rendering times reasonable and use image doubling over other upscaling methods when possible (NGU is usually preferred as the image doubler). Image downscaling will often be involved at 1440p when combined with doubling, but that shouldn't be an issue if your GPU is powerful enough.
Do you have any other questions that are specific to using 1440p at the output resolution?

NGU Sharp, Standard and Anti-Alias are all tuned to have different levels of sharpness. It is more a matter of whether you prefer a sharp or less sharp image.
A secondary consideration is the quality of the content. The sharpest scaler, NGU Sharp, can look poor with some low-quality content by enhancing more artifacts than Standard or Anti-Alias, which are more forgiving.

Hi Guys,
Thanks everybody for all the useful advise i found here to tune my madVR. Everything is working perfectly on my HTPC with a 1050Ti.
However i have only one issue, when i play a movie the refresh rate sync to the movie but when i stop the movie the refresh rate stay at 23p and Kodi GUI is not as fluid as in 60p...
when i check the Nvidia settings i can see that it is 23Hz, if i put back 60Hz everytime i play a movie it will change and stay at 23Hz.
So is there a way to force madVR go back to 60Hz when i stop the movie ?
Thanks for the help

I'm not sure. If the rendering times are under the frame interval, it could be something other than GPU performance. RTX cards are known to have issues with madVR with current drivers where the video will stutter despite having low rendering times. To fix this, set present frames in advance to 1. Setting the present queue to 3 frames might also solve the stutter. Enabling V-Sync might also help.

Do you mean lowering the default value of 8 frames in advance to 1? And V-Sync as an application setting in Nvidia Control Panel?
