I hear the GTX 1080 supports HDR

[unplanned bacon]

Is it a case of, if I plug it into any TV that supports HDR, then I get HDR or is there more to it? Please ELI5

the media itself must be hdr compliant,and you must be using HDMI 2.0a

otherwise nothing

So if I had HDR compliant TV, HDR compliant graphics card and a game with an HDR setting (or movie etc.) and turned HDR on in the game, the TV would then display HDR?

Or if I turn HDR on on the TV, then the media is shown in HDR?

Or is it somewhere in between?

the media must be HDR, your tv must be compatible, and you need to use HDMI 2.0a

all three


if the movie/video is not HDR then you get no benefits

So I can pair a 1080 with any HDR compatible TV and (provided the media has HDR support), I will get an HDR picture?
