I Can’t Buy AMD Anymore - Nvidia RTX HDR Update

I Can’t Buy AMD Anymore - Nvidia RTX HDR Update
I don’t think I can consider buying an AMD graphics cards anymore, despite them being better value… Let’s talk about it.
So recently Nvidia dropped a pretty huge update and everyone’s been talking about the new control panel which is actually really great as it’s much faster, simpler, requires no login, and consolidates everything Nvidia into one interface, but as cool as that is, honestly it was long overdue and I’m not giving out brownie points for joining the modern era with AMD and their adrenaline software.
No that’s not what this video is about. This video is about a new feature Nvidia brought. RTX HDR. Today we test Nvidia's new RTX HDR feature to see if it's worth buying an Nvidia GPU for this feature.

I have been with NVIDIA for a long time. Took them a long time to update their software. Last year I switched to team RED after a long time and although there were issues in the beginning, I am pretty happy I switched. I don't care for raytracing at the moment. What I do care about is good value for the price and NVIDIA products are just insanely expensive. I also will mention that NVIDIA's SURROUND is really bad compared to AMD's Eyefinity; I have 3 monitors and to be able to switch from 1 monitor to 3 monitors for games (depending on the game) is very nice. With NVIDIA upcoming RTX 5000 series, prices will be more insane than ever and really don't feel like rewarding them with my money, I will wait to see what RDNA 5 brings, for now I'm pretty happy with my Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro+.

[@legendmaster1989]

I’d be playing 2 games at once 😂😂

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

Nvidia is expensive for a reason. You are really missing out on raytracing. Its no longer a gimmick like it was 5 years ago. Nothing beats the experience of playing a game that has native hdr implementation in addition to full ray tracing effects (reflections, shadows, lighting, etc). combine that with 4k resolution high refresh rate low pixel response times... and you won't ever want to come out of your gaming room.

[@davloe]

To me who just switched to team red this month (7800 XT), I really don't think RTX HDR is that big of a deal. Sure, it's cool to make games look better, but so is Nvidia's ray reconstruction technology. The big question is: If we want to keep this new feature activated at all cost, how much less price to performance do you get with an Nvidia card compared to AMD? At this point it feels more like you no longer have to look at what performance you get out of a new GPU from Nvidia or AMD, but mainly about what experience do you want: Higher fps per dollar? Go red! More visual pleasure per dollar? Go green! That said, I do congratulate everyone of you who's currently on team green (whether it's voluntarily or bc you can't afford an upgrade) on the new Nvidia app! The software side of things was one reason for me to go red and I have no regrets so far and I'm absolutely in love with Adrenaline❤ Still, I gotta admit that even if it's just a beta atm, that stuff looks damn cool as well! Finally Nvidia seems to care about their software side of things... Took them long enough😂

[@Vorexia]

This is one of the most grounded comments I've seen on the Nvidia vs AMD debate. A lot of people on here have gotten overly passionate about this whole debate, to the point of genuinely getting mad at each other for buying products from the other team. It's important to remember that everyone has different needs and wants. Their decision should be as informed as it can be and of course there's implications, but at the end of the day it's still their decision to make and and frankly none of our business.

[@MVPMTKING]

Yeah I f with AMD Adrenaline heavy, but If they're fixing that it brings me that much closer to choosing RTX 5000 next time around Unless AMD can announce something interesting in the mean time, both are great. It's easy to enjoy both.

The only plus that RTX HDR has is that it can be used on older games with DX11 or lower, the rest is handled perfectly by windows auto-hdr option Also the RTX HDR option in the new Nvidia settings app is half-baked , if you have 2 monitors , one with HDR and one without , the RTX HDR option will disapair until u unplug the Non-HDR monitor

[@arkh1730]

[@chapstickbomber]

I'd be worried about bottlenecking at high pixelrates since it is tensor-based, especially with the performance hit you mentioned. If other tensor work is going on, there could be additional choking. Should definitely investigate on a 4k240 with a 4090 and a 4060.

Go to your windows settings, click on display, see if HDR can be turned on or off. If it doesn't let you then you don't have it. If it does then you have it.

[@Vorexia]

If you're not sure, then you likely have a monitor that either doesn't support HDR or has a very lackluster implementation of HDR with no full-array local dimming.. which means it's probably not worth turning on. Currently, true HDR is limited to high-end OLEDs and some new mid-range mini-LEDs.

Nvidia thou, now has to be kept on its toes to help justify their gpus price premium by offering more software to make use of their Tensor and Ray Tracing cores to offer a much better experience going forward.

[@GameCookerUSRocks]

It's funny how everybody (tech tubers mainly) was complaining about the Nvidia control panel and GeForce Experience. Neither one of them bothered me at all. I actually liked the features in both. It's not that hard to look up information on what's in there and what everything means. I'm not saying that I'm unhappy with the new NVIDIA app but now I have to learn everything again about it. And it's still in beta so it needs quite a bit of work yet. I don't know what this video is going to talk about but I personally like all the RTX features on the RTX GPUs. That's why I continue to buy NVIDIA. I don't care about the better bargain between two different gpus that essentially perform nearly the same. If a 7900xtx cost like $500 I might consider getting one just for gaming. But it doesn't.

[@tmoshamo]

I think when HD first came out it was 720p and everyone was blown away by it. Then 1080p and everyone was blown away by it. Next comes 4k and now 720p is crap! Now HDR is all the rage. To me its all marketing hype, but i appreciate that people do get excited about the latest thing.

That's not marketing hype though. Better technologies are developed all the time, that's called progress. Of course 720p looks bad now that we have technology that enables 4K. When we have 16K, 4K will look like crap. Of course, at one point we'll get to the limits of the human eye, but that should be some time.

[@DenverStarkey]

@@Tanax13 "When we have 16K, 4K will look like crap." onl;y fi youa re on agiant ass 65+ inch screen. you make an assumption that many do , that the number 720p , 4k 16k stand isolated and alone in what they represent. you have indeed bought into the marketing of these numbers. but those numbers are only HALF of an equation for figuring out number of pixels on agiven screen. 4k = 3840x2160 = 8, 294,400 that's there are a little over 8 million pixels on the screen at 4k resolution. and even having the full equation , youa re still looking at only half the story. Just as important as the number of pixels on screen , there is also Screen size. at 50 inches 4k has the SAME pixel density (PPI = pixels per inch) as 1080p on a 24 inch screen. you'd look at both and they'd look the same in quality because they ARE. now if you blew that 1080p up to 50 inches and then comapred yeah the 4k image would have 4x the PPI. but in general you're not gonna see much differnce between 1080p on a 20-32 inch tv compared to 4k on a 40-65 inch tv. as the ppi's at those ranges of comparison are roughly equivilant or so close there's no visual difference. you only see difference if the lower resolution is on the same size screen as the higher resolution. now in the reverse , there s no reason to put higher resolutions on smaller screen than what is optimal viewing for taht resolution as putting too high of a resolution on a smaller screen only makes the screen more expensive while offering no real visual benefit , since human eyes can't see smaller pixel diferences on a screen that is that size or smaller. for this reason you'll never see 1080p on a screen smaller than 15inch unless some one is trying to sell you something, it's bull shit. it's why the switch screen is only 720p . you won't find 4k on a tv smaller than 32 inch either. what i'm driving at is , 720p is not bad , 1080p is not bad , and 4k will never be bad. they'll only ever be bad for the size of screen you put them on , as too small and your eyes can't tell the diference , too large and the resolution looks to low in ppi. but well that;'s marketing and why companeis don't go into this .. they just grab anumber liek 1080p or 4k and plaster that real big on the box to ensure folks drool over it rather or not it's needed even really.

[@Masterkiller293]

I'd argue as long as you set up RTX HDR properly, it is more accurate than SDR, because you gain more detail and it probably wouldn't look much different than Native HDR (other than not using P3 or BT2020) if devs were to implement it into the game. I just can't imagine it looking much different. The algorithm Nvidia is using is genius, and I feel convinced it is true HDR!

The first “tech” that made choosing irrelevant is going to sound dumb but like I just said, no reason to lie, physx. I had a rig with 2 780ti’s in SLI and a 750ti just as a dedicated physx card. Made the Batman Arkham games perfect. What did AMD have, oh tressfx which did look good on Lara’s hair in the TR reboot but tanked performance. Physx didn’t catch on but before that happened I was all in on GSynch. During the 980ti days, that helped smooth things out so well that even Crysis ran decently. And you are right about HDR, and RT and path tracing and AI frame generation and upscaling are all here to stay no matter how much gamers want to fight the feature(s) that they hate on. All those things are going to reduce the cost and time of developing these AAA games (and indie games too) so the demand will become a necessity like for the next generation consoles and that just drives the price down for the PCMR gamers.

The RTX Auto-HDR toggle is completely missing from my NV app. I have enabled HDR in Windows' display settings for my two HDR monitors, and I also have the latest gaming driver installed on my 4090. What am I doing wrong? I read that in order to use RTX Auto-HDR, your Windows has to be up to date. I always keep Windows up to date, but I am enrolled in the Windows insider program, which means that my version of Windows differs from the regular consumer release. Could this be the reason for my issue?

[@robotmechanicalwhizkid2521]

I think i read its in the beta option so its not fully released yet I think? you have to opt in for that version then update

what story is that?

[@DenverStarkey]

i remember those days. back when games couldn't keep up with the hardware. god dman i miss those times ... even an outdated gpu would play current gmaes good for a year or two. as the devs couldn't release them fast enough to build in support for new hard ware. today the hardware can't keep up with the games. and videocard release timing s match game dev cycles now. and in some caes the hardware has longer times to cook than some games.

If you can't tell the difference between sdr and hdr, I think you definitely need an eye suregery dude. HDR is like the biggest visual change in games XD !

AMD does make really good gpus and their Adrenaline software is actually really good, but they are still suck with raytracing even with their new FSR3 and their new frame gen kinda sucks as well. AMD seems to be always a step or so behind Nvidia which is miles ahead especially with raytracing and with their dlss and frame gen. I also still have a reference model 7900xtx from AMD, but I recently got a 4070 super founders edition and that’s what I am currently using and will be for the foreseeable future.

What is wrong with the good old nvidia drivers? It has everything u need and very simple to navigate. I hate the fancy pancy bloated amd driver gui as I still cant find what I want after 7 and gpus. Nvidia does not need to make the same - oh cool but takes ages to find what u want to change, approach.

[@pweddy1]

It’s mostly acting like pulling the sliders for contrast and saturation on photoshop. It’s bullshit. I bet it doesn’t even matter you use an HDR monitor as long as you have 100 RGB coverage. 2 extra bits per color aren’t doing this. This is just contrast and saturation controls. It’s more Jensen salesmanship than anything else.

[@krisreddish3066]

I will wait on Intel. While I have zero brand loyalty, I do remember how Team Red and Green jumped on both AI and crypto and footed the bill to gamers. Building a PC costs at least 50% more in the current era than it did 10 years ago because of GPU pricing. Does not even matter if the card sucks, I have zero brand loyalty as I said, but I can hate, and I hate with my wallet first. They are harming the entire gaming community with prices that have zero to do with inflation. So even if both green and red have better cards in value come battlemage time. I will still buy Battlemage. Even if it sucks, it will do.

Owning both the XTX and 4090 at some point, I agree that Nvidia is simply too far ahead right now to pick AMD graphics. I wonder if your opinion would differ if the 4090 didn't exist, though. It is kind of in it's own price range, after all.

[@potatorigs2155]

Ahead of what ? Gimmick? Got it.

[@crazycop7774]

I definitely do not think, that's the case. We can't even max out games at raster in 4k, why care about ray tracing bs now. I would take more fps at 4k over ray tracing any day. Sure, the 4090 performs better but the price to performance difference especially with an undervolted and overclocked 7900xtx is simply outrageous.

[@crazycop7774]

Never use HDR, even tho i have a HDR 4k monitor. That shit is too bright and my eyes can't even handle it. Don't know why people like HDR. Don't want to pop my eyes out.

[@mz1929]

**NOTE** I just extensively tested the RTX HDR, i do NOT recommend it. Firstly. you can NOT have 2 monitors connected (or more than 1) Secondly, at least in the game i tested it in, which does not have its own HDR, and i have been using Windows Auto HDR for a long time. the windows HDR looks better. RTX HDR makes the characters faces look Ghostly. its boosting the wrong colors or weird detection of what to highlight and to what level. the AI needs better training etc. in fact you can do something cool and lower the "Grey Mids" slider all the way to 1, and see what exactly its highlighting and detecting as needs HDR boosts. Comparing the 2, Windows Auto > and also im not leaving my 2nd monitor unplugged to continue to use it, even IF it was the same quality or even better quality. that has to be a bug or something they figure out. this can not be for single monitor users only....

HDR is overrated and will remain like that until it leaves the early adoption phase. It lacks support and standardization along with it's premium addon to pricing. Also, the performance loss from HDR is only moderately suitable for a 4090 and only moderately acceptable at 1440p. Completely unacceptable in 4k for me personally. Especially if you tack on RT into the mix.
