Surpringly good.*THUMBS UP* It is faster and less resource-intensive than the olde and goode Enhanced Video Renderer.
Just don't use the keyboard shortcuts that adjust brightness, contrast and saturation when the the checkbox "Wait for VBlank before present(ing)" is ticked, otherwise MPC-BE will crash :-D

With MPC Video Renderer you can configure the quality in video playback for video players like MPC-BE or MPC-HE.
You will get the best performance and a high quality level with an nvidia graphic card (recommend RTX Series).
The video renderer let you choose video playback sharpness, up- und downscaling methodes to get the best results for your video.
With an Nvidia RTX graphic card it is possible to use the GPU to upscale small videos (DVD Quality) to FullHD or higher.
The results look sharp und detailed. It is fantastic for old video files. It only works with the latest nvidia drivers from 2024.
One of the best things of this software is the economic CPU und GPU usage. In the past MadVR was the best video renderer, but with a high CPU and GPU usage. Now MPC video renderer does the nearly the same, but is must faster and do not waste so much CPU and GPU power.
So you get the best results with newer and older computers.

I answered a topic where a person couldn't have his videos display HDR bc Dolby Vision...

Near perfect !
