I have just purchased the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 32" and I am having problems running HDR with AMD Freeync premium pro.
Problem 1 - HDR not working when AMD Freesync premium pro is turned ON
Problem 2 - videos are stuttering a lot on apps like netflix and amazon prime video if the freesync is ON.
I don't want turn it ON/OFF manually every time it should work fine with freesync ON.
Not sure why this is causing a lot of problems wherein freesync premium pro should have full HDR support and no stuttering in videos.
Latest firmware drivers installed for Monitor - 1007.0
GPU drivers latest - Adrenalin 23.9.3 (WHQL Recommended)
Windows 11 up to date with all the latest updates installed.
It's not just the games, if free sync premium pro is turned on I can't even watch HDR content since the brightness becomes too low, it affects my desktop HDR brightness as well but not the SDR brightness.
SDR brightness is all good with freesync premium turned ON.
I tried CRU it worked for me like 5 mins, deleted the freesync range and added it again but it was very unstable and my monitor display was turning ON/OFF plus it was going completely haywire and was showing just one color on the screen and then reset back on its own, so had to reset the CRU.
I have tried reinstalling display drivers by DDU, checking everything with 3 different cable (2 HDMI 2.1 and 1 DP) still both the problems are there, have reset my monitor multiple times to default settings as well. Both MY HDMI 2.1 cable are certified cable and DP came with the monitor itself.
I have tested with all the local dimming modes, usually I set it to high for HDR content.
Auto, low, high and even on OFF the brightness is just not there and everything looks too black.
Until a couple days ago it was working fine on my 2070 with adaptive sync ON and is not after upgrading it to 7900 XTX it works fine when I turn off AMD freesync premium pro.
Everything is at factory default settings- Monitor, Display drviers (Vsync OFF) and nothing changed in windows settings.
Tried with Rtings ICC profile as well and created multiple ICC profiles and checked, nothing seems to be working.
