Another question... If magpostprocess ako using MADVR..May nakita kasi ako sa net na settings.. Jinc 3taps AR.. Would a GTX 660/7870 be an overkill?
Came across that guide a while back. Yan ang setup ko ngayon sa chroma, image upscaling options with JINC 3-taps mode with anti-ringing filter sa madVR renderer using a GTX 670 2GB.
Medyo mabigat din yung GPU load niya at ~60% load tapos since naka sagad lahat yung buffers at queue sizes so umaabot ng more that 1.5GB yung video memory utilization as indicated sa GPU-z lalo na sa 1080p videos. Naka-load din yung external 3DLUT calibration created with Argyll + MadVR and my SpyderExpress4 colorimeter. Activated din yung smooth motion frame blending hence the increased buffers and queue sizes.
Sutter galore yung HD4000 ng intel ivy bridge i5 ng laptop ko sa mga settings above. Long story short, worth it din bumili ng mid-range graphics card with more shader power in the long run and the results are excellent lalo na pag-upscaled yung 720P content parang native 1080p (as long as maganda yung encode) tapos yung smooth motion, tanggal yung judder ng 23-24fps videos like movies and anime sa 60hz monitor ko tapos di kasing bigat ng SVC frame interpolation.

Ito pala advice for Radeon and intel graphics users I pulled off the web:
Tips for improving video quality
Thursday August 15th, 2013
This is a tip for anyone who has an Intel or AMD/ATI graphics card. These manufacturers enable certain video 'enhancement' features by default in their drivers. The problem is that those features actually reduce quality instead of making things better.
It is thus recommended to disable these features. This should improve both quality and performance. You can find the relevant options in the control panel of your graphics card. You can usually find a shortcut to that control panel by right-clicking on your Desktop. Options that you should disable are: "Noise reduction", "Adaptive contrast", "Dynamic Contrast", and "Edge Enhancement". The number of options and their names can vary depending on the Manufacturer and driver version. Visit our forum if you need assistence.
If you got a powerful graphics card then you could also try madVR in combination with MPC-HC. madVR is an advanced video renderer that is able to produce better quality than the standard renderers from Windows. Configuring madVR for optimal quality/performance can be a bit complex for novice users, so we only recommend using it if you got a decent amount of computer knowledge.
Based on my experience with my last radeon, totoo ito kaya pala yung matinkad yung kulay, may pixellation compression artifacts at crushed blacks ang ATi/AMD. Ang maganda sa Nvidia, although it looks bland out of the box for most folks, naka disable lahat ng enhancement sa driver by default so bahala yung user kung anong gusto niyan i-enable.
