HDR on Nvidia
Simple question - How do I get HDR enabled in my games? I have it enabled in the OS, but I can't get my games to see that I have a HDR display. Helldivers for instance will show the setting but it'll be greyed out. As the title says, I'm running a Nvidia system and I think that's what's making this hard. I've followed YouTube tutorials but I'm just not convinced those were directed towards Nvidia users. I appreciate any help, but I really prefer it to be kept simple since I'm new to this whole thing.
