RTX HDR

[Ozymandias]

Has anyone gotten to try the new RTX Auto HDR on this game?

Nights in downtown Algonquin would look awesome with this tech

Anyone knows if it works and looks good?

Yes, it works. Yes, it's quite pretty. It's not overly taxing on my system which uses Rtx3080 on an i9-9900k for reference. I'm not sure if it's as good as native hdr though. For me I am still tweaking it and only having 3 profiles available means you are not setting it on a per game basis so games will share profiles.

How you did that? Mod?

No, not a mod. RTX HDR turns SDR colour range into HDR colour range. This way you get HDR in games that don't natively support it. You need an Nvidia RTX series GPU to enable it, the Nvidia App (which replaces Geforce Experience) and an HDR compatible display. Oh and I think you need windows 11 too.

I am not running any mods including DXVK.

I am yet to test it on another machine and have done limited testing with my daily driver machine. I only booted up GTA to answer the question for myself and the O/P. And my tests with RTX HDR have only been on games, not video or editing software, so, I am yet to see if it works on SDR video files.

FWIW - The app is in beta at the moment so I am sure there will be tweaks to the system.

Amazing. I do not want to upgrade to windows 11 yet but the rtxhdr thing sounds promising.

NGL it's pretty awesome tech. I am still working with it to see what works and what doesn't. I think my library is viewable, so, any game that is in my recently played list has been tested with the tech to varying degrees of success. But the app has only been available for a short while and I am not sure what results others are getting. A sample size of one is not really good data.

Also, my GPU is plugged into a pci-e 3 not pci-e 4 so I am not getting all of the performance I could.
