I doubt it will make much if any difference to the number of cheaters but it's some good PR to throw out to the fanbase to make it sound like they are stopping cheaters.

I will get it eventually but not at launch with a full priced release for a late port.

For those who have used it: would you say it dramatically improves the visuals in your game(s)? After playing with it on, would you be disappointed to play with it off? Just wondering if I should prioritize it as a feature next time I buy a monitor.

If the monitor/TV has good HDR support, it is miles ahead SDR. It shows how a game and media was meant to be played/watched if it is new and made for HDR, for example Alan Wake 2.

In short, a monitor/TV has to be OLED or mini LED with lots of dimming zones (1000+) to have a true HDR, otherwise it'll be as reviewers calls it, "fake HDR". Good HDR usually also have a branding has HDR 1000 or HDR 400 True Black (for OLEDs, not to mistake it as HDR 400, which is trash).

Pretty much sums it up it's probably the best tech to emerge for a long time when implemented right and your screen is good enough none of the 50 nits above SDR stuff like most monitors were advertising as HDR.

Going from HDR to SDR in the same game is a massive difference and hard to explain to people without seeing it themselves the best I can think is that when you go back from HDR everything looks like it has the original colour pallet of Gears of War on the Xbox 360 with very muted washed out greys.

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: ObscureThe stats they show only add up to 95.43% so is it safe to say the other 4.57% were from Linux users across all the various distros?

They also only show Windows 10 and 11, I would assume they have many players on earlier editions.

Ah yes that's true probably a mixup of all sorts then for the last few %

Quoting: dubigrasuI only play with controllers, I wouldn't even know how to play with MKB although I used to, many years ago. I blame the Steam Controller for that, once I got it in may hands I forgot about MKB, is that good. Besides, I'm now a couch player, no place for MKB.

Oh I did the same thing myself haven't gamed on MKB for 3 years now since I got rid of the desk and 21" monitor and put in a nice couch and a 50" TV and it's the best thing I ever did I started enjoying gaming much more again like I did when I was younger.

I use a controller from the couch to navigate the desktop as a mouse instead of the Stream Big Picture mode mostly so having the new controller thing saying it supports my Xbox controller in green along with the bar that appears in the library and updates in real time as you connect/disconnect a controller is a clear and welcome reference to see that some older games have native support now and the old little white icon used to be on so many bright backgrounds it was sometimes hard to see.

Looks like my kind of game and native Linux support! They are after my money indeed.
