    NVIDIA Russia Tries To Silence Redditors: Silent Post Removal Instead of a Proper Excuse

    Hey guys,

    As you may or may not have heard I've recently written a post about a failed 30 series launch in Russia, and how Founders Edition cards were handed over to certain privileged people and sold covertly, while being unavailable for regular customers. Here's the link to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/jam258/corruption_at_nvidia_russia_how_the_russian/

    Here's the text saved: 1 and 2.

    After a heated discussion, the mods deleted it, then brought it back and locked it. News articles on Russian websites followed:

    https://dtf.ru/hard/231848-rossiyskoe-podrazdelenie-nvidia-prokommentirovalo-sluhi-o-podpolnoy-prodazhe-rtx-3080-i-3090-founders-edition?comments

    https://4pda.ru/2020/10/14/376905/

    (just a couple of examples)

    And now, all of a sudden, 20 hours later, the mods delete the post and tag it as "fake", even though no official evidence has been presented by RU Nvidia that this story is fake, as the mods conveniently tagged it. So this is just a far-fetched attempt to shut our mouths. Here's what they wrote when interviewed by a russian website DTF:

    NVIDIA stores worldwide are currently in reduced functionality mode.

    For Russian buyers, we are preparing an alternative platform for buying Founders Edition cards. The process will take up to 2 weeks. We will share the information in a group on VK.

    The cards are already in Russia and are waiting for their buyers. But it is worth remembering that the current demand for FE cards significantly exceeds the supply.

    The post has been spread all over the websites in Russia, being available for 20 hours, collecting a bunch of upvotes and having been in front of a bunch of people. I think it speaks volumes that something shady is going on at Nvidia Russia.

    I'm just hoping that this won't go unnoticed. Any thoughts?

    Does HDR on Windows really work?

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 09:12 AM PDT

    HDR seems to start settling down with TVs + a dedicated video playback device (UHD players or TV-built-in YT/NF/AMZN player).

    However, when it comes to Windows + monitors, HDR seems like it's still exotic tech.

    First off, DisplayHDR hasn't helped much in producing an abundance of quality monitor choices. The cert is too lax and doesn't cover key qualities necessary for HDR on a monitor (e.g. FALD response time).

    Second, Windows itself seems pretty dumb when it comes to HDR. It's completely unclear to me, for example, if you can have HDR during playback in a borderless fullscreen window or in a less-than-full-screen window on your desktop that plays a video/game or if HDR can only kick in when an app takes over the monitor in exclusive full screen mode.

    Thirdly, it's unclear which Windows video players support HDR. I don't know about web browser based players (e.g. for YT/NF) but native players (e.g. VLC, MPC-HC/BE) require madVR whose long term support is unclear and reliability is sketchy.

    It looks like HDR on Windows is not really a thing yet, right?
