HDR needs to be implemented on a software level? Huh I thought that was purely a hardware thing, like RGB range.

Yea. Developers have to add it. Its just not a value or postprocessing that your tv or 3rd party can add. its worth it tho. I love HDR. More games need it.

Wasn't Rise of the Tomb Raider suppose to get HDR? I wonder what happened.
Yes.
What actually happens is that the game internally renders HDR lighting and then in order to display this dynamic range on TVs (which are incapable of displaying the full range) they have to tone map the image to a limited range. For normal TV this range is 0-255 and games have been doing this for years and years since Half Life 2.
However the new HDR TVs are capable of displaying range from 0-1023 for HDR10 and higher for Dolby HDR but in order to use this ability the developers now have to tone map to this range instead of tone mapping to be displayed on 0-255. This process is not automatic and this is why developers need to support HDR displays in order for the games to use them. And yes you guessed it right even HDR TVs don't really display the full range it's just that they are capable of displaying a lot more range than older non HDR TVs.
I don't think uwp games support it yet. Coming later.

I seem to recall seeing a HDR option in the settings of Warframe.
yeah, hear directX hdr support is coming with the creators update, and then updates for games to support HDR

I'm wondering this too. With DX9 games and some type of DX9 instruction interception would it be possible?
Durante might now.
Some issue with UWP.

I will continue playing FH3 as soon as the update hits, should be shortly after or with the Windows update since they already have it done for XBONE.
Same with GOW4

One of the recent Hitman updates added HDR as an option in the config menu, it has DX11 and DX12 support as well so its a great title to mess around with video options in. My main monitor is a gSync 1440p but I have a 4k Samsung KS8000 attached too and I can turn on HDR for that monitor but not my gSync monitor. Its interesting playing on the 65" TV in 4k, but I prefer playing on my gSync monitor for a variety of reasons (1440p vs 4k means way better FPS for a start).
Because Microsoft are a bunch of dicks. Also, the game is currently 109GB.

Paragon has HDR on PC only (no PS4/PS4 PRO support) and for NVidia GPUs only (no ATI GPUs support).
Redout, Vanquish, RE7, Shadow Warrior 2, Mass Effect: A, Half Life 2, Hitman, Paragon, Witness, Obduction,.
I can't find a master list. I was demoted to Jr. a while ago not sure if it is permanent, but I will update games I'm going through right now (over 1000 games lol), not going through all of them ie bundle crap but I will check most games and post them in here.

Post Creator's Update on Windows 10 -- you turn it on in the windows Display options, then start the game. There's usually a box to tick in the options, too, but it'll also usually already be on.
You need a GTX 900 series or newer for Nvidia cards, not sure which for AMD, but HDMI 2.0 is the reason.
And no, it doesn't impact performance.
FUCK every developer that include HDR on console and doesnt include it in the pc version, i'm done buyign their games and Nex machina going to be my last game that does that.
Checkbox and its not performance hit afaik.
I thinkHDR implementation are through nvidia solution and not related to windows. Would cool though if MS added hdr to Gears and Forza for current pc players.
Vanquish, HL2 do not have HDR10 support, the HDR in the graphic setting are the old fake simulated HDR more than a decade ago.

Bayonetta has a HDR option which seems to work very well with the Windows 10 Advanced Colour setting.

I don't think that's "real" HDR.

That list has ReCore, but that's a UWP game, and earlier in the thread people said UWP doesn't currently support HDR.
EDIT - I think HDR on PC is a bit of a Wild West atm, with both MS and Nvidia offering different implementations and of course they may not get along with each other. On console it may be less confusing for devs to support. Hell, even on consoles, HDR support varies wildly in implementation from game to game even on the same hardware. For example. Horizon ZD on PS4 works well in HDR, whereas Everybody's Golf is strangely dim. Both PS4 exclusives. HDR can look very good when everything works, but varying standards and implementations mean that it is still very much in the early adopter phase.
So 12 lol, it's getting there though!
Is it just me though or does sw2 completely maxed even at 4k look kind of like a launch ps3 game?
I added a few more that I discovered, it's now 17.
I also added Alien: Isolation, which isn't technically HDR, because it doesn't fill the full standard, but it does have 10-bit colour depth, which is like half of the HDR10 standard.
In my eyes that means it supports HDR, just not fully.

Yep. Some games with HDR on PC work like Destiny 2 (via the Beta) and RE7 but others like Agents of Mayhem and Andromeda don't. The requirements for HDR in games need to be completely nailed down by MS, Nvidia and AMD as soon as possible. So far it's been hit and miss.
Pretty much just you, the lighting alone a PS3 game last gen couldn't achieve, much less the texture resolution on assets.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Hitman does!?
I'll be trying that out! Probably run like shit though, the game is so demanding as is

There's no performance hit.

Ideal! Thanks, I'll enable it next time I'm on
I wish the RE7 HDR implementation actually worked on PC after all of the win 10 creator updates.
I've never gotten the ingame HDR to toggle on and would like to do another playthrough utilizing HDR goodness.
I guess we're waiting on another windows 10 update, game patch and/or driver updates?

How does that work?
A HDR demo was shown on the PC but it never showed up in the final release. I'm hoping all versions will be updated once the 1X release hits.
It's odd because I can enable HDR in games without the HDR option enabled in the display setting.
In the game's settings, there's a 'Deep Colour' option, if you turn that on it'll enable 10-bit colour. On an SDR screen it does nothing, but on a HDR screen, it'll start showing the expanded colours that HDR has.
The only thing it doesn't have is the extra brightness, so it won't be able to reach 1000-4000 nits like officially supported HDR games can.
Though the nature of 10-bit colour depth means that it can show a bit brighter than the the SDR 8-bit colour depth, so you do still get some advantage in brightness.
