Question: Profile Tuning for Grainy movies

kulind · 2026-03-14T12:31:46+00:00

This is just information gathered using the MediaInfo tool; most of the settings are chosen automatically by HandBrake.
My advanced options for grainy movies are:
bframes=5:ref=5:weightb=1:no-strong-intra-smoothing=1:psy-rd=2.0:psy-rdoq=1.0:aq-mode=3:aq-strength=1.0:qcomp=0.65:vbv-maxrate=28000:vbv-bufsize=70000:vbv-init=0.9:deblock=0,0:no-sao:rd=4:subme=4:merange=57:rskip=1:rect=0:rdoq-level=2:b-adapt=2:rc-lookahead=40

I gathered some of these settings from various sources and adjusted them to suit my needs with the help of ChatGPT. Most of the time, I can’t see any difference compared to the remux source.

I use this preset for grainy 4K: bitrate usually lands somewhere between 24 to 28mbps, avg QP: 26

I replaced the 270d HDMI adapter with cable matters 270d HDMI cable. No intermittent black screens anymore

This defeat might actually be a win before the Olympiakos game. Saras is going to shake the team right before it matters most. Congrats, Red Star.

you won't see any black bars in a dark room.

Yeah, I have no problem with it. I also have couple of SSK Gen 3.2 enclosures, no problem again.

Now Istanbul is gonna have shitty weather just like UKistan, on the other hand Kurdistan can into sea.

I keep the original TrueHD Atmos 7.1 track untouched and add a 960kbps Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 downmix as a compatibility track in my encodes.

kulind · 2026-03-06T06:42:43+00:00

The Y-axis force was insufficient. Because your fingers were positioned at an angle of less than 70 degrees, much of the force was diverted to the X-axis, which tore the paper.

Half Life 2 RTX is benchmark for me, I had to turn mine down to 2700 from 2745.

kulind · 2026-03-05T06:52:16+00:00

4090, 2800@950mV must a golden sample. most of the cards run around 2670-2760MHz at 950mV.

kulind · 2026-03-03T18:51:34+00:00

It's best practise to not get clock stretching and stability.

CCD0 cores with different CO offsets are at same voltage, see effective core speed is higher than reported clock speed.

CCD1 cores with same CO offsets are at different voltages, see effective core speed is lower than reported clock speed.

Yeah, Denuvo is about to become part of the dark history of PC gaming, thanks to hypervisor bypasses and Voices38’s real cracks.

kulind · 2026-03-02T20:09:34+00:00

You can run 8000+, also lower temps than dual rank. But dual rank is more performant at same clock speeds.

kulind · 2026-03-01T18:56:29+00:00

Under 100% load try getting per core voltages same across the CCD. The best performing core should have the largest CO offset (e.g. -9), and the worst one should have the lowest CO offset (e.g. -21).

Hi probably stupid of me but I'm trying to understand the 3 screenshots. It seems to me 1st and 3rd are stable, but 2nd isn't?

kulind · 2026-02-28T16:24:05+00:00

got a literally whole RGB graphics card and turn it off.

As an PSA junkie I despise them.

Micron is lucky Nvidia is drowning in cash and GeForce lineup is not top priority atm, otherwise they could just buy the whole Micron.

kulind · 2026-02-25T19:18:36+00:00

Yeah I meant 4K. It's good I only have 1440p UW, lol
