HDR Unavailable

[瘦头陀]

I have PG27UQ connected via DP to 2080ti, with HDR enabled in windows 10 version 1809. And completely uninstalled MSI afterburner.
But however i tried turning HDR on and off in windows. the in game HDR option is always greyed out and showing "unavailable".
Would really appreicate some help if anyone had same issue.

Are you running just that monitor or is there another monitor hooked up? You also want HDR enabled in Windows 10 before you launch the game. Also are you trying to run 4k 144hz?

EDIT:
You want to be set at 98hz in 4K to be able to use HDR with that monitor as its limited by bandwitdh.

Just to add in, you dont need HDR enabled in windows if you're running the game in fullscreen (not borderless or windowed). I like HDR in the game but dont like it for desktop related activities.

Yes for this game it works like that I forgot almost every other game you need HDR enabled in windows like Shadow of War, Madden 19, Shadow of the tomb raider, Forza Horizon, etc...I think almost all ubisoft games with HDR work like you described above.

I have same issue - I have Nvidia 2080 and Sony xf90 hdr TV and HDR option unavailable in game at all (grayed out) (I have Windows 10 with latest updates and turned on HDR). In some other games (Final Fantazy XV, Metro Exodus) HDR works fine in that way. Any thoughts?
P.S. TV connected with hdmi 2.1 cabel

First thing just to clarify The 2080 is hdmi 2.0. Make sure your refresh rate is set to 60hz and see if that fixes it. Also make sure using full screen.

Yep, it is 4k 60Hz

Ok what about full-screen? Like not borderless or windowed. Are letting windows pick color format in nvidia control panel or manually selecting one? Another thing to check is to make sure you not using custom resolution in nvcp.

Another thing to try would be turning HDR off in windows and then launching game and see if HDR can be turned on from off within game settings.

Another note is things like msi afterburner/riva tuner can sometimes conflict with HDR so launching game without those running then seeing if HDR is working/enabled then minimizing and turning them on should be fine.

Also if you have any other ubisoft game that supports HDR see if it works normally with that like AC:Origins, Wildlands, etc...

1) Screen is set to borderless
2) All nvidia settings are set up to default
3) No custom resolution in nvcp, I use everywhere 3840x2160 resolution (including game) which considered as recommended
4) I tried to turn off Windows HDR - same result
5) I do not have neither afterburner (I have Asus card), nor riva tuner
6) Ok, will check other Ubisoft games - didn't have chance to do it yet

borderless is the problem you need to be full screen.

Yes! Thanks, it helped. Now HDR works)
