Forza Horizon 6 – RenoDX
There is now a RenoDX HDR mod for #ForzaHorizon6 on PC (no longer in beta).
It's a great mod 👍 It addresses all the issues I had with the games HDR.
It especially helps gamers with higher nits displays (above 800-1000 nits). They can now fully utilize their displays full brightness capabilities. All gamers on PC can benefit from its lower black levels.
The mod uses the game's in-game sliders for peak brightness and paper white. So we don’t get the RenoDX mod's usual settings to further fine-tune our HDR setup.
There is a cool feature - where you with the press of a button can change between in-game HDR and the mods HDR.
Peak brightness:
Many light sources no longer have different brightness output (no longer capped too low) depending on time of day or area.
Picture 1 is in-game HDR output being capped at 760 nits even though I have setup peak brightness to 2000 nits (250 nits paper white). Picture 2 shows 2000 nits output with RenoDX.
During daytime I get 600 higher nits output for my 2000 nits TV (see picture 3 and 4).
Black levels / Shadows:
Black levels are much lower. That in itself is great, giving us better contrast. See the lower part of the waveform on picture 3 and 4.
Lower shadows is also great because it effectively means we now can increase paper white more without shadows / black levels increasing too much (increasing paper white increases upper shadows). This kept me from increasing paper white above 250 nits, even though I wanted higher midtone brightness. I now use 330 nits.
I can now start my playthrough of Forza Horizon 6😊
