Currently Resolve renders image to the screen over OpenGL surface.
Because OpenGL can output 30-bit images, we can also get automatically 10-bit on Windows.
But HDR on Windows cannot get output via OpenGL.
DirectX code and conversion to Rec2020 curve is required.
This feature requires a lot of Resolve code changes with many potential bugs and workarounds.
So, I think the developers will not create HDR in a near future, before Windows HDR OpenGL output in GPU drivers.

Resolve supports HDR in Windows now (yay).
However currently you need to launch the app on the HDR monitor (you can
move it to another monitor afterwards), or it will not enable HDR in
any viewer. To do that, first move it to this monitor, exit and reload
(it will now open on that monitor and HDR will be enabled)
And unfortunately again, even with this workaround, it now enables HDR on all viewers, even those that are on non-HDR monitors. On the plus side, the Clean Feed will work correctly on the HDR monitor at least (I use it with an HDR projector, without any HDR capable PC monitors).

I wonder if it works via proton/wine? :p
Pekka, sorry for bothering you, but do you have some Vulkan-encode capable hardware? I'm trying to add some support for this in cingg, but it sort of hard without hardware?
