Does turning on HDR Bloom affect my monitor?

[KurokaiSO]

I have an AMD Radeon RX 6800 and setting up my Wallpaper Engine to 60 FPS and Ultra Settings is no issue. I don't have FPS drops or anything while playing games.

MSAA x4
???
High Quality
Ultra
Ultra

These are the settings that I can use without the warning icon showing up. For example, the max. Anti-aliasing I can go for without the warning icon is MSAA x4.

Now my question is about the Post-processing between Enabled and Ultra with the warning: "Adds HDR Bloom to supported wallpapers" - aside from performance:

My monitor doesn't support HDR. So turning this setting on wouldn't change anything, right? Meaning I could leave it at enabled or am I understanding it wrong?

I appreciate any suggestions or replies from experienced users!

you can also set it up so the wallpaper will be on Pause/stop when you play game and you will not see any performance drop what ever the quality setting you use in WPE

Thank you for the example, I did notice the difference! Thank you a lot for the amazing example! ^^

But in general, do you recommend it to keep it on even tho it's showing me a warning? Which shouldn't be a problem in general because of my GPU and that I didn't notice any performance issues.

depend if you are the type of person that care about power saving $$$

I use the software with max quality all the time
