GPU issue with BluRay

Hi there!

I've upgraded recently my GPU: went from a very old 9800GT to a very new GTX 960.
Since then, I've encountered some issues with high-def videos, like this one:

It was working fine with the old GPU, but it's completely desynced with the new one: the video playback is slowed down and the sound (which plays fine) stops from time to time while waiting for the video to catch up. The behavior happens on most of my hi-def vids. Quite frustrating.
I thought at first it was related the new pack as I also upgraded from mega v11.6.5 to mega v11.7.0 (default setup), but the issue remains present with both versions.
The GPU drivers are up-to-date (running on Win7 x64).

Any clue?

Some things that you can try:
1) Remove all leftovers of the old card with Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). Then do a fresh install of the NVIDIA driver.
2) Enable Yadif deinterlacing in LAV Video decoder.
3) Disable "Use Inverse Telecine" in NVIDIA control panel.

Did that DDU cleaning after opening the thread. Thought these days the "make a new installation" option in the nVidia setup was enough. Clearly not. Saw clear improvements on most heavy files, but still not perfect for the few heavier ones as MPC-HC CPU usage is still through the roof with that one.

Your other tricks didn't help. In fact, the default setup of your pack is what works the best.

Starting to think that this GPU is asking too much of my now rather very old CPU (C2D), despite having 8GB of RAM.
"Funny" because I don't have any issues at all with games.

Thanks anyway

Before swapping the GPU you need to remove the old one from the Device manager in Windows. Otherwise some stuff get left behind. DDU cleans that up.

Have you tried enabling hardware acceleration? You can do that in LAV Video decoder settings. Select DXVA2 copy-back and enable it for H.264 and HEVC.

Yeah, I used to clean properly back in the day.
Hardware acceleration didn't help either, but...

New set of drivers (v362.00) from nVidia, K-lite v12.0.1 and dxva2 copy-back.
And now there's no more stuttering

Good
