Information about HDR Support on PC
Hello AC:O PC Community!
The holidays are upon us, and we hear some of you might be getting new displays which support HDR… So the Assassin’s Creed Origins team has been working closely with our AMD and NVIDIA partners to enable HDR on the PC version. So, while we are still working with our compatibility labs to ensure broad support on HDR10 compliant displays, we wanted to make this Beta version of the feature available to you before the year ended.
PC HDR Support Notes
----------------------------------
General notes
- HDR support on PC is highly dependent on the drivers and windows versions, see below for a list of tested configuration.
- Enabling HDR will force the game in full screen mode. Please note that HDR is not supported in windowed mode.
- Make sure that the HDR display you are running the game on is set as your primary display, even when you are running multi-monitor set up.
PC HDR Requirements
- 3D Card with HDR support (Nvidia 9xx and 10xx cards, AMD RX4xx, RX5xx, and RX Vega cards)
- Display with full HDR support
- HDMI 2.x cable
SETUP
- Connect your PC using HDMI 2.x cable to an HDR Display and set it as your primary display.
- Display input must be configured for HDR Display (i.e Enable UHD Color, Game picture mode). This can be done in the options for the display itself.
- Enable HDR through the AC:O graphics options. The option will be grayed out if no HDR display is detected. If that’s the case, verify your Display setup, Cable, Drivers and Windows version.
- Set the HDR Settings through the game’s graphics options according to your display capabilities.
