Ok guys. Hardware tone-mapping is still experimental but is enabled in the 64-bit Windows version of PMS for NVidia GPU’s. This is made possible because of the zero-copy support. You don’t need to do anything, it will either work or not. If it doesn’t, we would love to get feedback and logs to verify.
I have tested and it is working on an NVidia RTX 2060 Super. I’ve also gotten confirmation from users with other NVidia RTX 2000 and 3000 series cards so you don’t need super high end equipment. Of course this may vary for other vendors.
An NVidia GTX 1650 should work. To see if your card may work, first check https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new and make sure your card supports hevc 10-bit decoding. It does not mean tone mapping will work, but tone mapping will definitely not work without that.
