Are These Good Config Settings for 1440p/RTX3080?
I found these config settings over at; https://github.com/hl2guide/better-mpv-config
I changed it a little, removing all the other resolutions, and only left the 1440p section. I wanted to ask, if someone could kindly look this over and tell me if these are good settings to use on 1440p with a Nvidia 3080? I swear, I feel like at times, using these settings I see very faint stuttering, so this is the reason I wanted to ask about these settings, if they are not correct, or overkill, that could cause some performance issues, even with a 3080?
THANKS

Log file
Even if you think it's not necessary at first, it might help us later to find possible issues. Make a log file made with -v -v or --log-file=output.txt, paste it to https://0x0.st/ or attach it to the github issue, and replace this text with a link to it.
Here is a copy attached of the log output.
demuxer-max-bytes=1800M
demuxer-max-back-bytes=1200M
Do you really need this much cache?
volume=60
deband-iterations=4 and also some other stuffs are "debateble"
Maybe just read the manual here and find out what's best for yourself.
This is the default script, I only removed, I didn't change anything, and when it comes to a lot of these MPV options, I really don't understand them well enough, I've never bothered spending much time learning about all of them.
