Hey guys, stupid question here: if I'm recording gameplay in HDR through ShadowPlay with RTX HDR, does the maximum amount of nits I set in RTX HDR affect the brightness of the video? Or is HDR HDR? For example, my monitor supports only 400-nits brightness, but if I set RTX HDR to a maximum of 1000-nits, does that mean the video will look better on HDR screens capable of showing 1000-nits?

The limitations of your display shouldn't affect the recording, yes

So I can leave my maximum nits in RTX HDR to 400, and on YouTube, for people who have a 1000-Nits HDR monitor, will see the video better than I do?

No, I meant yes to your last option: you leave 1000 nits in RTX HDR so the recording is at 1000 nits for your viewers

That's a shame, many things are blown out but I guess I'll deal with it - anything for the viewers :D
