DXGI doesn't take into account the SDRWhiteLevel that has already been
applied to the monitor when it converts to HDR10 which results in clipping.
This change set implements a HLSL shader to reverse this while at the same
time converting to HDR10.
This is still not perfect but far better then doing nothing.
There is no performance penalty to using ARGB10 as it's still a 32-bit copy per
pixel and the nvidia driver internally handles any conversions required to make
this work for both SDR and HDR.
@quantum has observed nvfbc under rare circumstances fail to initialize,
this adds a retry to the init with a short delay to hopefully recover
from this situation.
This is an experimental & incomplete feature for those using
supersampling. Anything > 1200p will be downsampled by 50% before
copying out of the GPU to save on memory bandwidth.
Unfinished! Has issues with damage tracking and currently can not
be configured. Only dx11 has been tested at this point, everything
else will likely have problems/crash.
The nsleep() call lets d3d12 sleep for a more precise amount of
time while maintaining the current millisecond-scale sleep
interface in the configuration file.
To avoid client showing "Using : NVFBC (NVidia Frame Buffer Capt".
This happens because the string is truncated to 31 characters to fit
in the char capture[32]; member of KVMFRRecord_VMInfo.
For Windows 10, it so happens that the major.minor is 10.0. This is not
usually a given, e.g. on Windows 7 where it would read 6.1, on
Windows 8 it would read 6.2, and on Windows 8.1 it would read 6.3.
This is obviously undesirable, so we should just read the ProductName
from registry if possible. This results in something like:
OS Name: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Build: 19043)
This will cache up to 10 handles, in practice I have never seen DXGI
return anything but the same resource each time but we allow for more
anyway should MS change something in the future.
Should the cache get over filled it is disabled entirely and we revert
to the original behaviour.
