According to various rumours this past week, AMD has been deliberately limiting HDR colour depth when using HDMI 2.0 ports.<\/p>\n
Many PC gamers have noted issues with trying to play games at a 4K resolution with HDR enabled.<\/p>\n
However, a recent report\u00a0by OC3D<\/a><\/strong> has revealed that this is in fact not the case and that the problem lies with the HDMI standard itself not AMD.<\/p>\n To put things simply HDMI 2.0 was designed for 4K and was never intended fully support HDR, at least at YCrBr 4:4:4 colour spaces at anything higher than 8-bit colour. This makes things problematic for HDR content, as anything HDMI 2.0 does not have enough bandwidth to support HDR at a full YCrBr colour sampling of 4:4:4 and instead needs to compress the signal to YCrBr 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That means that if you plan to do gaming at 4K with HDR enabled you may be waiting a while for a future HDMI standard to support the ability.<\/p>\n Despite rumours concerning AMD and HDR limiting, the problem actually lies with the HDMI standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234,"featured_media":110961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[31,1051,7702,2312,20330],"class_list":["post-110959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hardware","tag-active","tag-amd","tag-graphics","tag-hdmi","tag-limit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110959"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110965,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110959\/revisions\/110965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
