HDR or no HDR?

Do you turn on HDR in windows b4 playing TWW3?

Yup, don’t think fully supported like some games but the auto seems to work well for me at least.

FYI, here’s site I use to check on games:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)

Weird, swore was on that list but looks removed or misremembering from another site, but ya it works for me, think since rome 2 all total war games support auto HDR, just don’t have it natively in engine like Cyberpunk or Realms of Ruin for two examples I’ve used it in recently.

I use reshade. Works great.

I do like the look of the game more with HDR in windows enabled. It doesn't seem as over saturated.

Plus the tinkering with reshade is fun but when i get one scene to look good, another is all out of whack.

I'll probably just stick with HDR

What I noticed too, and why kept using it. Noticed in general, the windows auto HDR, if it works for a game, is pretty solid. If didn't know too there is a windows calibration app can download from the app store, that made my HDR look a lot better in general after ran it once. Should be a link in settings to get to it.

Ya same here reshade is cool, used it to good effect tons of games in past, but it can be pain to get going right, and sometimes can cause issues too.

To me, if game supports auto, or native HDR, use that. Reshade is for old titles which do not. Like Stalker Anomaly, great for that to spruce it up a little bit for an old engine. Or, obviously if you don't have a HDR compatible display, ya, reshade all day every day then.

I have been pleasantly surprised at how well auto HDR works on many games. Microsoft features are usually pretty meh to me.

this is true, like teams or onedrive at work? that ish' go for a long walk on a short plank.

Not to mention stuff like "game mode", at best it seems to do nothing.

...seriously little concerned for your wellbeing, but...yeah I do remember and it was kinda funny, that one Half Life 2 playtest or w/e with the lighthouse, rem in Oblivion if had hdr on had to disable AA too. All sorts of weird when first tried to get it going it seems like.
