How to set up HDR in Elden Ring (Shadow of the Erdtree)
- ›⚠ This game’s HDR is widely considered flawed — compare it against SDR (or PC AutoHDR/RTX HDR) and keep whichever looks better.
- ›Open the game’s own HDR calibration (Settings → Display/Video) — it overrides the system calibration, so set it per the on-screen patterns.
- ›FromSoftware HDR is weak — washed out, slow to engage, and it breaks when you alt-tab.
- ›Many players prefer SDR (or PC Auto HDR) here; if you keep HDR, use HGiG mode + run the game true-fullscreen.
