digging their confusing standards whole even deeper according to reports
claiming that the all-new HDMI 2.1 a
specification will debut at ces 2022
which no one is actually attending
there's gonna be like tumbleweeds blowing between the exhibits but they
will have RGB leds so now i wanna go HDMI 2.1 a is expected to
introduce a source-based tone mapping feature which will help displays better
adapt to both HDR and sdr content but it
won't be a required feature of 2.1a you
may see a product box with an HDMI 2.1 a label but it won't mean because
you'll still have to look on the back for the actual features i don't know why this is so hard it's
like the HDMI forum wants us to yell at them do you like this do you

graphics drivers allowing the feature to be enabled in nearly any game without
any work on the developers part this is super cool but to be super clear other
than the driver thing it sounds like rsr is just basically fsr

but even though AMD is doing great right now i still feel the need to cheer on
every slightly cool thing they do mostly because jensen comes off like he's he's
