Add HDR

[L4TINO]

HDR users get in here, we need Developers to see this.

imagine messing a little bit with contrast values and selling it as new feature

Auto HDR and RTX HDR don't work currently. You're a good little bootlicker.

How do million dollar game companies not afford oled's anyway. I dont get it.

Because its not that great. Many, MANY times I've seen devs implement HDR that looks worse than SDR or makes the game difficult to play, or has no point where it can actually be calibrated to look decent. And with no real "standard" everyone has a different monitor, and there can even be differences in the same model from panel to panel, and they put work into something that many people just disable. There are games that have awesome HDR, but there are probably just as money that HDR makes the game look completely broken visually. So, it can be hit or miss for many people, and those that DO want it can just enable it anyways without R* putting it in with Windows HDR or RTX HDR. Honestly, I have several games where I disable the native HDR and use a third party implementation anyways, because the games own HDR sucks.

HDR has always looked good on my OLED displays. You probably have a trash IPS display so you don't even know what HDR is or what it's supposed to look like.

he fell for hdr meme lol

[L4TINO]

Keep it up lads! Native HDR!!!!

[Magic Tofu Cat]

the problem with hdr is if the hdr10 color space is not avaliable its just sdr im hdr and it just looks very muddy

[DeadJericho]

yes to native hdr implementation

rtx hdr needs the nvidia overlay to work at all (which can cause problems with some games), and costs upwards of 20% performance

auto hdr isnt as good and requires that its turned on globally in windows, which can and will mess up other games if you forget to turn it off after playing this one game (very likely)

You're poor.

I have an hdr monitor and never use hdr lol

[KoseChris]

It is just weird, the console version has it. They should at least give an explanation?

The closest thing you can do to native game's HDR and works wonderfully. Windows AutoHDR never worked with GTA5 for me anyways and it's marginally worse.

The problem with OLED and RTX HDR/ AutoHDR is the UI white is too bright, I haven't used SpecialK but I would assume its the same in terms of unable to adjust UI brightness, This is why native HDR is so important.

Special K does make the UI bright, but it is better than autoHDR and RTX HDR in that regard. The latter usually makes the white lines on the road bright as the UI but special K doesn't.

It also has a TON more advanced settings to mess with than RTX HDR if something doesn't look right.
