Since you have some horsepower with your proc, I would suggest doing a 2x ratio on the resize. e.g. 3840x2160 (4x is better but you might run out of headroom)

During my intial setup, I found that this produced the sharpest picture even without running postprocessing. Be wary though, it gets very processor intensive on larger video files. I use 3 different profiles for varying resolutions of source files.

I don't use ffdshow now, but when I did, I found that the postprocessing option actually made my image worse. May just have been my system though.
