Games can change your refresh and resolution the only thing that can't be done is hdr that requires a toggle.

pistachio, Fandangos... don't fight, please. Kodi for Windows needs developers. From the "outside" it's quite obvious that you have potential, don't waste it fighting. Please.

you should highlight that the user in question is not aware of the nvidia API and that it is used instead of the windows API for his game.

"everything" he talks about is "accurate" he simple doesn't understand know or why things are different.

It's not that.
We are discussing an automatic method to toggle hdr state from on to off and vice versa.

It's obvious that this is possible with private apis as amd ags or nvidia nvapi, that's what I use on my fork and the example I used for unreal engine source code.

What I meant is for games that do not have those private apis like the blair witch (it's just an example) it will not switch hdr on for you, you have to turn hdr on in windows display settings.

What the guy describes on Reddit is the nvidia api because hdr is toggled on but windows hdr switch stays off.

And just a fun fact, Shadow Warrior 2 along witb Mass Effect where the one of the first pc games to get hdr support. I have not played mass effect but Shadow Warrior is really cool.

Version 1.9.2
Updated at 31-01-2020 (forked from Kodi 19 alpha master).

Definitive cure for NVIDIA stuttering/tearing issues. (thanks @bentom)
NVIDIA Control Panel 3D profile (power management) may be no longer necessary but leave it in 'Adaptive' may be a good practice.

I reported to the mpv dev team that Kodi is the only player that can play UHD/4K 50 fps with a GT 1030 2GB card, they wonder now if Kodi is using the fixed function video mixer instead of shaders, maybe you can answer this.

Kodi can use DXVA or pixel shaders render. Default setting is DXVA but can be changed on "Settings > Player > Render method". However the performance is very similar with the two methods.

For my personal needs I use "auto" setting (DXVA) on Intel NUC8i3BEK (Iris Plus Graphics 655) and has zero issues even with HDR10 60 Hz ussing default graphics setting (RGB 4:4:4 PC levels).

GT 1030 it's pretty basic but it's supposed to be more powerful than Intel's integrated graphics. That it works well should be the right thing.
