Hi folks. I installed MPC-HC and MadVR on my sandy bridge i7 laptop (i7-2670QM w/HD3000 and Win7) and tried using the setting recommended by renethx in this post -- http://www.avsforum.com/t/1303066/official-sandy-bridge-lga1155-for-htpcs-thread/1890#post_21014311 . Unfortunately my GPU clock speed is throttled to 650MHz and can't be increased and my 16GB RAM is locked down to 1333MHz also. So given those limitations what settings should I really be using? I'm getting a lot of dropped frames (around one every other minute) and nothing I try to do with the settings seems to change that.
Basically I'm just trying to experiment w/the best upscaling and picture quality I can get if I want to use this laptop as my traveling HTPC. For a laptop like this w/a beefy CPU but fairly limited graphics is MadVR even my best option or is there an alternative that's more CPU dependent instead? I want to be able to both upscale/downscale to the laptop's 1600x900 display and to 1080p when connected via HDMI. Thanks.
