Thank you! I'm using my Asus Pg32uqx 1400 nit( peak like 1530) mini led. All of a sudden after an update I was like why is my RTX HDR showing 530 nits 😮😮 When I know my monitor hits 1500-1530. I did not realize post update it no longer reads EDID info. I do like the fact that you can manually force the correct nits in the HDR calibration tool. I even uninstalled my driver; uninstalled my nvidia app- then reinstalled everything before your video. I was like what the F is going on? You are a lifesaver! Thanks bro! Subbed
Dude, this is absolutely glorious, these 2 issues were extremely frustrating, I almost returned my Gigabyte F032U2P DP 2.1 monitor because the EDID data was wrong (gigabyte finally fixed it) and I was locked to 465 nits in RTX HDR. I did not expect them to fix both these issues so soon (or ever) so big props to the devs at Nvidia for this, it's why I always have an RTX card, the software support is incredible, and thank you for making a video on this, this is exactly the hyper nerdy content I'm looking for! EDIT What are you thoughts on HUD elements in games causing burn in? RTX HDR seems to treat HUD elements as peak highlights so I'm afraid to play a game for a long period of time unless the game has a dynamic HUD solution (be it official or through a mod)
Thanks mate, yep, right there with you! Interesting on the Hud element, i have notice that aswell that they get tweaked when changing RTX HDR settings, Hardware unboxed have another channel called Monitors unboxed. They have a video where they have a 2023 OLED and they are leaving it on 24x7 to test burn in. The take away, is that its not that bad, i wouldn't worry about it, asuming you are not leaving your screen on overnigjt, just enjoy your monitor :)
You're not doing anything terribly wrong, just a few minor improvements that you could be making. You need to implement noise gating or noise reduction to deal with the echoey audio. Should be in your OBS settings already. Not sure if you were going scripted or off the cuff. Either way you should either keep pace by the script and edit out dead air, or you should practice with off the cuff and then remove dead air anyway. There were a few unnatural stops during the flow of speech that really stood out to me. Overall not a bad video at all.
I have my LG C2 and Ultrawide connected to the same GPU. They both have different HDR ICC profiles, but sometimes after restarting one of the monitors have the wrong ICC profile selected. So I have to open settings and manually set the correct HDR ICC
Hey mate, I have 2x 1440p screens, only one of which is HDR, and i get a similar issue, where 'sometimes' the HDR monitor wont pick up the correct color profile, it either selects a wrong one or just doesnt get one at all. I recon i have seen it happen when waking from sleep too. Its either a windows bug or its the GPU not recognizing the monitor initialy when it first powers on.
Hey mate, RTX HDR does still have an FPS performance cost, and it most likely will contiue too as i dont think its an issue so to speak. Its using the GPU to convert SDR to HDR. Its not fair to compare it to windows HDR in that sense as they use differnt methods to achieve HDR. In short, if a game has 'good' HDR implementation, then its better to use that as there isnt a cost to performance. If a game doesnt have HDR or its a bad implementation thats why RTX HDR is best. But who knows, it might go the way of PhysX, where it used to be costly and now on modern hardware its not.
I'm on Nvidia app version 11.0.1.163, following your steps even when I HDR windows recalibrate, the Nvidia app does not update the new peak brightness, even with closing it out and reopening, and a pc reboot. Sigh.
Hey mate, what NVIDIA driver are you running? I am on the same NVIDIA App version as you and driver version 566.14 and its still working the same as in the video. With HDR turned on in windows settings > display + HDR calibration done: Goto: Windows settings > display (select your HDR display if using more than one) > Advanced display Does it read 'Color space' as HDR? and lists the new Peak brightness post your calibration? This will tell us if its NVIDIA App doing it or if its your windows settings not reading correctly. Lastly, Assuming the above is showing correct and it looks to be an NVIDIA app problem with it reading it correctly, You mentioned closing and reopening the NVIDIA App, i too need to do this sometimes (normally after the screen goes to sleep) Make sure when closing it down, you end it from the little ^ icon in the bottom right next to your clock > right click NVIDIA icon > exit. Then reopen it from start menu. See if that makes a difference mate.
@John_Morrish Didn't realize when closing it stays running. Also, when looking at the peak brightness slider it was showing 650 but i just ramped it to 800. My eyes thought it would automatically see it set to 800 via the calibration change.
@@cl-audio322 Yeah its...not perfect yet, but I am just happy its going off windows HDR now and no longer the EDID value. Whatever you calibrate in windows calibration, it sets the 'ceiling' for RTX HDR, so if you calibrate to 1000nits you will need to tell RTX HDR to be 1000. Hopefully its sorted for you now, and hopefully NVIDIA sorts out the...ease of use for it.
@kunalkeshri7186 Hi mate, if you press the little joystick behind the screen to access the on screen menu, navigate to 'black equaliser' and set it to 0. Then navigate to picture settings, scroll down until you see 'peak brightness' and set it to 'medium'. (This is best all round regardless of game type you play, it has the least amount of dimming and most consistency. Then, in windows, do what i did at the end of the video, calibrate your HDR settings in windows and the nvidia app so they are darkness = 0, maximum brightness is both set to 700 nits. If you play dark games mainly (think like Resident evil, where its mostly lots of blacks) then do the same steps but set the 'peak brightness' to 'high' And the windows and calibration to 1000 nits. Its good to have two seperate profiles to get the most out of the screen, if you dont want to do that then just set the first one and forget about changing the color profile and the peak brightness setting each time. That 'peak brightness option, controllers the nits of the screen between 700nits and 1000nits. Higher = better. BUT to do the higher option, it has to darken the rest of the screen, so if you play a bright game, whites dont look good unless its only a small (5%) of the screen. and you will see lots of auto darkening/lightening which is Distracting.. But as i said, if its too much fiddling, then just set it to medium and 700nits. Its a good inbetween as set and forget. Hope it helps!
I don't know how you're getting the Peak brightness option in the windows display settings Same in the Nvidia app the only thing I don't have in either of these is peak brightness. one other thing, the Windows HDR calibration app refuses to install on a lot of people's systems. You can download the installer, but when you go to run it, it takes you back to the store to download it again. This is a loop.
Hey mate, with HDR turned on in windows settings. Open windows settings > display > advanced display, what does it show peak brightness at? If, your peak brightness for your monitor is 400nits, it wont show Peak brightness in the NVIDIA App, as the App knows you have 400nits, and as 400nits is the lowest the App can go it wont show you the peak brightness slider.
@John_Morrish It says High dynamic range (HDR) if it helps, my monitor is a Samsung Odyssey G7 28" 4K 144hz I'm also using a hacked version of Windows called Windows spectre Ghost with a hacked way to activate it So I may not have the same settings you or others do
@@TLgamer_TL I cant see much online around Spector and HDR. HDR calibration was introudced in 22H2 version of windows, so if you are running at least that version and still having issues, then I would be willing to bet Spector removes one of the dependacies windows HDR requires.

You're awesome thanks for this video.
Great video, brother. Very helpful. Now it's 1,090 nits, up from 700. I followed the steps you did, and that's how I got this. You earned a sub!
Thanks mate, happy gaming.
