So I thought I'd drop by and make a report. It looked so bad and busted that I almost freaked out that maybe I broke my monitor or something, so I booted up the latest Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed and ME Andromeda and they all worked just fine in their respective HDR modes. For now it just seems like an bug that is affecting the game from being recognized as a HDR application. Plus like I said, I used it quite extensively in the past and atleast on my monitor (Acer XB3) it actually boosts the image quality in supported games by a noticeable margin.

I can think of very few gaming monitors (not counting actual TVs) that support HDR600/1000 off the top of my head. Ohwell, I know HDR400 is kinda basic but most HDR monitors only support HDR400 though. maybe tthere is still a bit fine tuning neccessary. And War thunder just got the feature implemented. Some games might work better, others worse. Of course it also may depend on the game and how HDR is implemented there. it's pretty weak and famous for making the picture quality rather worse then better and often results in washed out colors. it's the minimum in terms of HDR modes for displays. Thank you.ĭon't expect too much from HDR400. So I'm just confused as I was quite excited for this feature. i booted up the HDR mode in Shadow of the Tomb Raider and it seems to be working just fine. I wanted to know if there is something else I need to enable or if it is a bug. This is what the game looks like by default with all the above hardware HDR settings turned off, and ingame HDR mode set to OFF and it looks normal as it should -Īnd now when I turn on all of the above mentioned hardware HDR settings and then turn ON the ingame HDR option, the game boots up as if it were still a SDR app, which means the colours are completely washed out and dull like so. These are my monitor's hardware settings -Īnd these are my windows settings, along with my GPU and driver version. Here are some pictures to show you what I mean. When I try to launch WarThunder in HDR mode on my HDR400 supported monitor, the game appears extremely colourless and washed out as if windows is still treating the game as an SDR app.
