Where's all the HDR games?

Tell you what?
If it's HDR possible, it supports 10bit going by TFT Centrals review, and they are far from your standard youtube twit screaming "IT'S GOT HUNDREDS OF PIXELS PER INCH!".
HDR compatible? I don't know, never used anything to state it's available.
As I said, it seems my panel, and others here have 10bit capability.
10bit and HDR are two different things. Just before you come back with some snarky comment 'lol, wrong'...
No it is not compatible with HDR. Just because it's a 10 bit panel does not mean it's HDR.
Basically there were monitors announced at CES that support HDR but there is not one that was made before 2017. Sorry to burst everyones bubble.

Cool, now go untwist your panties. Before you go, re read my post, I didn't say anything about HDR?
I haven't seen any HDR monitors yet, nothing to stop anyone using a HDR capable TV as a monitor though.
No, it's not HDR compatible.

Well you're talking over semantics of your words now, dup's post said yay I have a 10 bit panel, so I have HDR.
You then replied saying yes, my IPS panel also has 10 bit, inferring you also have an HDR monitor.
I am not wearing my panties twisted, just trying to educate people on what they have/don't have that's all.
+2.
I joined here recently because I want to talk about games & cooling for my new system, and before you know it i'm lusting after a £900 curvy samsung 4k HDR screen
Then my reply to dup's post came over wrong, it was oozing sarcasm. In the sense of me stating my cheapy monitor has 10bit. Doesn't mean it's HDR. Instead of being either wrong or right in a subject I don't know enough about, I supplied a link to prove the 10bit statement was right. I was saying 'You tell me' about HDR as I was sure I hadn't. Maybe I should have said that in my first response.
Personally, HDR isn't something PC's will see for a while.
Where's them sarcasm tags when you need them.
Oh you'll see it on PC soon enough, but people will pay through the nose for it.
Agreed, just like Nvidias gsync when it first came out. Whilst yes, it's almost a 'can't live without' feature in some situations. It was also horribly overpriced to start with.
In a couple of years, 4k monitors will be much more accessible with hardware to back it without breaking the bank. By then, I'd imagine HDR will be well within standard markets.
Again, I may be way off.

I am waiting for HDR before I buy a new monitor.
I want 4k, HDR and Gsync.
I need to save up for the PC to run it also.

1440p monitor with gsync and HDR would be nice.
it will be many years before 4k gaming on PC is possible for a reasonable price.
HDR works on Resident Evil 7 if you have a recent HDR HDTV does not seem to be any PC monitors released yet which support it. You also need a recent Nvidia GPU, 10bit bandwidth @ 4K capable interconnect cable as well as the HDR display!
In about 2-3 years this will be commonplace right now its an ultra niche pursuit on PC for an improved colourspace on games which support it as long as you have all the components required!!

Later this year Sony & Cyberlink will introduce a PC solution for 4K UHD Bluray then you will see new monitors, optical drives & cables so HDR will really take off!

Not really. We are already getting reasonable gaming at least at the 60fps mark at 4k. This will change again over the next year with Vega & Volta etc.
Now if games suddenly ship with true 4K textures and all that then it may be different and we will see us still sitting at 60fps however older games will (i.e games out now) will be around 80-100fps mark with the latest GPU's in a year.
We already have games that can be maxed out getting that anyways in some cases. I don't see why the suggestion here is that 4k gaming is still so far away.
And I think the fact that CES showed some lovely monitors suggests it is certainly on it's way. The Swift PG27UQ monitor for me was looking excellent overall. Being 4K G-sync 144Hz IPS HDR monitor with DCI-P3 colour space |(25% larger colour gamut than sRGB) it is looking good. Going to be costly but for anyone rocking Nvidia with Volta in 12-18 months this is currently looking to be the monitor to purchase.
I'm pretty sure monitors need HDMI 2.1 support first before even considering any other specs.
Depends on the games, if your being really selective even my laptop with a GTX660 can handle some games at 4K, that doesn't mean 4K gaming is here though.
I have a GTX1080 and many games at 4K are a bit of a struggle, right now you need GTX1080 SLI.

No current monitor is capable of supporting true HDR, iirc, for that you need to have either:
- an incredibly high peak brightness, as in 1000 nits and a black depth of 0.05 nits
- a black depth of less than 0.0005 nits and more than 500 nits for peak brightness
Most monitors on the market now barely break 400 nits for peak brightness and have only about 0.13 for black depth.
The only way HDR can be achieved is with full array local dimming (which the upcoming 27" 4k HDR monitors have and they have 384! Which is extremely good!) or OLED.

Dirt Rally
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Hitman
Battlefield 4
Crysis 3
Doom
GTA V
Witcher 3
Rainbow Six Seige
These are all games that either hit 60fps at stock or with a small OC at 4K from my experience. That is a reasonable selection of games I feel as well. Yes there are games that are worse and some of these only just reach the number but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Now take the TXP and you will be fine for 4K gaming if you have the monies. With that taking into account the drop of Vega, DX12 and Volta I just don't see it being many years away.
AMD has already suggested that want a PC rig under $1k to be able to play games at 4K as their target this year.
Kinda
Based on reviews I've seen and my own experience that's not true at all, Battlefield 4 at 4K average is around 50fps for me with a lot of frequent drops.
The same is true for many of the games you've listed.
Like I said affordable 4K gaming is a few years off, maybe next year.
