HDR isn't supported on 980ti using display port. It doesn't matter if your using a D.P 1.4 cable as the port on the card is D.P 1.2 which won't transmit HDR meta data. HDR is only supported using the HDMI 2.0 port. This has been confirmed to me by Nvidia .

That's why Nvidia released that firmware tool to update displayport to 1.4.

Have you tried to update the firmware for the monitor from the Samsung site? Firmware MAY 23,2018 | ver 1019.1

mhmilo24:

Anyone here with HDR problems on the 980Ti? Monitor C32HG70 wit Settings: WQHD native, 144 Hz on DP1.4 Cable. FreeSync Off. NVidia Control Panel did let me choose some time ago between 60-144 Hz and 8-/10-bit Color A few updates ago the Settings started to disappear. First all refresh rates were apperent, but I could only choose 10 bit Color with 120 Hz. All other Options turned back to 8bit as soon as I approve the settings. With this latest Update the 144 Hz Option is gone and I no longer can save the 10 bit setting on any refresh rate. Its jumping back to 8bit. Does someone know a driver build where these settings are still working?

But when you read the system specs for the HDR monitors, it says min 10xx so only pascal an up. I posted info in another thread about it. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12941/nvidia-publishes-gsync-hdr-sys-reqs-releases-vbios-update-tool Unless something changes it doesn't seem even worth flashing a 9xx card unless they change support. PS, there also a WU for 1803 released today, I saw some HDR stuff in fixlist I think.

It doesn't update it to 1.4 it merely fixed a compatibilty problem with HDR diaplays going blank on Windows start up when running at 144hz whilst using display port. If you have a 980ti after updating the firmware Windows 10 still doesn't give you the option to enable HDR unless your using HDMI. I did purchase a club3d 1.4 DP cable and tested it myself. I challenged Nvidia on why HDR isn't working on display port and their response was that the update doesn't change the hardware specs. If you want HDR over display port you need to upgrade to a 10 series card. And I'm on the latest firmware for my C32HG70.

We'll see if it's really fixed when The Coalition re-enables the asynchronous compute toggle switch for Pascal GPUs. It's been missing for several months now, which I'm sure was related to the game's instability on Pascal GPUs as AMD GPUs can still toggle it.

I see, well I guess its another ripoff artist tactics from nvidia. So by hdmi you're then forced to 120hz, even with hdmi2.0 cable? I would be really pissed too, was this close to get the same monitor in 27" variant, but I ran a little short of €€..

sooo nobody having an issue booting to a black screen with these? im recovering from it as we speak. almost had to use an image from like two days ago which would have killed me. Got a lot done in the past few days >< System restore wouldnt go through. could boot into safe mode but regular booted to black screen. Removed the card in safe mode and im back in so gonna give em one more shot i guess. good times w/ good ole nvidia. kinda like shadowplay not working in exclusive fullscreen. Or desktop capture not working with SLI/surround. OBS can manage and they dont have billions in revenue and hundreds of employees but i digress. They shouldnt be working for free they should be making nvidia beg for their superior programming skills evidently.

Thanks for that info on the 980Ti and HDR on the DP. I bought an active DP to HDMI adapter over a year ago and wasn't sure about whether it could work, now I know for sure.

Works very well on my PC. With 397.64, ACO would get weird pauses every now and then but it's fine now.

Can you fix the bug that make Set up Digital Audio always be on the TV ? I disable it everytime and it re enable it self After every Windows Restart ! Even When I didn't even install the Nvidia Audio Drivers and it's High Definition Audio is disabled in Device Manager ! how many things to stop this from detecting HDMI Audio ?? Also when I turn my TV off LG OLED E6 , it makes a mess with my Audio output and nothing works correctly until I restart ! Including the Microphone and everything else. I have HT Omega Eclaro a 185$ PCIE Sound Card and Nvidia drivers are the only things messes things up !

It's your choice of what to use as a default audio input. You can make the selection in Windows Sound settings.

Great driver so far, I don't have the silly Gsync stutter anymore when Alt+Tabbing between windows.

So to get this straight. You have a 980 Ti, a C32HG70, the Club3D 1.4DP Cable and you never get the Option HDR enable on W10? I have exactly the same hardware and I can get the Windows Slider to appear with the 391.01 driver (maybe even the earlier versions, but this one works for sure) on every single Insider Preview since November. Would you mind trying it too and tell me if this happens for you too? Or anyone who is experiencing the same problem. Try the 391.01 and see for yourself that the HDR windows slider will be available. Washed out colors in W10 are the result, but still its there.

Open Issues in Version 398.36 WHQL: Windows 10 Issues: - Using power monitoring in GPU monitor tools causes micro stutter. [2110289/2049879]

I thought they have fixed it some time ago. Is Windows 8.1 affected by this as well?

Isnt this just for the 27 inch model? As far as I know people tried to rename the file, so that the 32 inch model accepts the firmware, but then you end up with Windows identifying it as a 27 inch Screen (which wouldn't be a real problem). Others bricked their screen with the same method. Did you get your 32 inch firmware from a specific location based samsung support website?

Similar issue where my taskbar items become unusable/unresponsive - including the sound icon - and programs wont launch. Rolled back to 398.11 fixed the issues. Strange because all previous drivers work fine (38x & 39x series drivers) - something really wrong with this particular driver. . .
