AMD detects HDR but Nvidia doesn't

[Thready]

I have a UN55RU7300FXZA TV and my Vega 56 detects HDR just fine but I switched to an RTX 2070 and now it only detects my TV as SDR.

 

Is this weird? I've tried posting about this in different forums but nobody knows what's up. I've tried different cables too. And I went through Nvidia's control panel many times and, nothing.

 

I'd like HDR so I was just thinking of selling my Vega 56 and 2070 for $100 each and then just buying whatever $400 card AMD is going to sell. I even wondered if the HDMI port on the RTX 2070 wasn't HDMI 2.0 but Nvidia wouldn't do that would they?

It depends on the manufacturer of the card,I advise to use DisplayPort.

They worth more than that,that's too little to ask for,since the 2070 itself competes with the 5700 XT and costs more.

You normally need to enable HDR in Windows (or TV option itself in some case) I don't think you can enable HDR with Nvidia Control Panel 

 

You can choose 10 bit colour with that though and I think you need to choose that setting in order for HDR to work in some case.

I tried DP cables and I went through everything in Nvidia control panel. The HDR setting on Windows was grayed out.

hmn.. did you try disaby Gsync or Freesync and change PC power plan yet? 

 

Also just to be sure, try set the FPS in Nvidia control panel to 30 fps and see if it's help

How would I disable Gsync? Someone on Nvidia's forums said that my TV doesn't seem officially supported as an HDR TV for Nvidia's cards.

 

It was advertised as having Freesync which is why I bought it, but my AMD card didn't detect Freesync on it so I feel kinda ripped off. 

 

The main thing I want HDR for is for Cyberpunk but from what I've heard, PC games don't have good HDR and if Cyberpunk doesn't blow me out of the water with HDR then I'll probably just keep my 2070 until next year.

 

I chose not to get the PS5 because my PC should support any game for the next few years except for HDR.

Disable it in Nvidia control panel like this

 

Also just for your information - can enable HDR on any graphic card, it's a monitor feature not a GPU or PC feature in general. Don't upgrade your graphic if all you want is to play game in HDR, upgrade your TV or buy a monitor instead.

 

That said, it isn't always true that HDR looks horrible on PC though. Sure you won't get a "true HDR" experiences (which mostly refer to a local dimming feature which give you a better contrast than the average monitor) but in some game, HDR graphic can beat SDR with just their Wild Colour Gamut implementation alone (a good example of this would be Star War The Last Jedi Order, Ghost of Tsushima HDR is also pretty decent. 

 

You would want to upgrade your GPU powerhouse if you want to play a game with Ray Tracing but any thing should be fine for HDR (so long as you have a compatible monitor)

 

Anyway, if you haven't fiddle around with Gsync then do try that first. Disable it might help or vise versa, try enablign if it hasn't already been so. Some of the Freesync monitor build in its HDR feature into the Freesync itself and not having it enable might be the reason your PC does not recgnise it.
