          FAQ

          • []The game appears dull. Is this even HDR? - By default, RenoDX is configured to match Vanilla SDR. From there you can

            tweak to your liking. [/]

            []How is this any better than (insert other HDR process)? - The engine has been rewritten and resources upgraded from 8-bit SDR to

            16-bit HDR. The source to create the image is not the SDR image, but the raw image before the game converts it to SDR. This allows information that was completely blown out by the game's original SDR tonemapper to show through. This is not a post-process of an SDR image, but a reprocessing of the native one.[/]

            [] I don't have HDR. Can I use this? - Yes, switch to Advanced and set SDR EOTF Emulation to Off (unless your monitor is in SRGB mode), And set HDR Output Encoding to scRGB. Peak nits and Game nits should be set to 80 which is Window's default for SDR. [/]

            About RenoDX

            RenoDX, short for "Renovation Engine for DirectX Games", is a toolset to mod

            games. Currently it can replace shaders, inject buffers, add overlays,

            and write user settings to disks. Because RenoDX uses Reshade's add-on

            system, compatibility is expected to be pretty wide. Using Reshade

            simplies all the hook necessary to tap into DirectX without worrying

            about patching version-specific exe files. The source code is available

            on GitHub.
