Issue Description (Required):

I have been unable to enable RTX HDR via the NVApp since a few months ago. It’s greyed out. I have reverted to older drivers from end of last year to no avail, I just cannot get it work.

I have also tried with the latest drivers and no success. The drivers and the game previously let me enable RTX HDR but I can’t figure out which driver it was.

It keeps stating the game needs to be in fullscreen for it work. I think it used to work when you had exclusive full screen so it seems it doesn’t work with borderless which is the default now

Any way to resolve this?

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Works fine for me, tested just now latest drivers and remember to update nVapp if applicable.

Double check the other stuff needed to make it work and close any apps or browser like FireFox that may interfere or cause stutter (I think that’s fixed now), overlays (Discord, Steam other) , Windows auto-hdr ETC.

Sometimes RTX HDR doesn’t hook properly at start, usually fixable by Alt-Enter to toggle mode, alt-tabbing or restarting game.

There’s a long thread on this issue on Nvidia a forums I’m surprised it works for you. My process:

enable windows HDR

Disable AutoHDR

Enable RTX HDR in Nvapp

Enable HDR on monitor

Set Fullscrern in game

Update to latest drivers

All overlays disabled

What is notable is that RTX HDR works for other games like Killing Floor 2/3, Shadow Warrior 2, Dying Light and several other mixes of old and new games. I cannot get it working with DT.

I have a multi monitor setup. I remember RTX HDR used to not work with multimonitor but it eventually was updated to do so.

Installing older drivers didn’t help but I might need to DDU.

right now I’m using reshade as a fallback

Using it with 2nd monitor too, those issues were a while ago and you can always force it on w/ nV Profile Inspector, no issues; IDK what to tell you but it’s not likely the game’s fault. I’m assuming you tried single monitor mode to test, reshade off etc.

I suggest maybe trying forcing it on globally or just DT w/ nV Profile Inspector rather than nV app to see if it works and it’s just nvApp having trouble for some reason.

OR If you want HDR a different way maybe (probably more ”proper” way) try SpecialK , or RenoDX, I think Reno works w/ DT now, the plugin had issues before but maybe they’re sorted out now? The comments suggest it’s working now, read them.

It’s listed as “green check” on the RenoDXpage too Mods · clshortfuse/renodx Wiki · GitHub

Note RenoDX uses the Reshade DLL to hook its own plugin/mods but not reshade shader stuff necessarily.

I have tried Nvidia profile inspector earlier but it’s still greyed out even with driver level enabled. Something is amiss of it works with other games, I do t know how to solve this at this point I may just give up

I wasn’t sure about RenoDX in case it got my account banned

There’s no anti-cheat, Specialk or RenoDX injection via the ReShade injector won’t get u banned or anything.

If it’s forced on globally via nV Profile Inspector it doesn’t matter what the nV app Overlay says, it’s irrelevant at that point and not needed.

If you don’t notice the color diff then RTXHDR didn’t trigger properly for whatever reason; it’s a post-process after all so IDK if ReShade or something else is being weird.

It looks like gpkgpk has been a big help already but as this isn’t a widespread issue (at least on our end) I’d recommend reaching out to NVIDIA Support for assistance, as they’ll be best equipped to look in to this for you.
