  • Yea, it works pretty well. I’ve mostly used it for games, but firefox recently added support for HDR video and it seems to work with no issues. mpv I think has had HDR for quite a bit.
    I’m not sure what RTX HDR does, as I only used an AMD card with my HDR display, but there are Reshade shaders that should implement something similar and there’s RenoDX (a Reshade addon) which patches games to retrofit real HDR. mpv should have something similar, but I don’t think there’s anything for YouTube.

    Edit: mpv’s inverse tonemapping does work for YouTube videos, if you are OK with playing them outside the browser.





  • OK first, do you need both iGPU and the Nvidia GPU to be working at the same time?

    Not really, that was just how had it set up for other reasons and never changed it.

    It’s telling that you can’t even get the official Nvidia drivers working. You then “fix” things by removing the cable from the iGPU after having all these problems and installing the Nouveau drives. I think this could be the source of your problems.

    I didn’t install nouveau, it’s also blacklisted. I installed the new nvidia “open” drivers (and libvulkan1) and those do work except for dxvk.

    But yea I think I’m gonna do as you said and re-setup everything with only the nvidia gpu, just to be safe.
