I'm experiencing an issue with my dual monitor setup where I can't enable HDR on both screens at the same time unless I lower one of them to a 60Hz refresh rate. I'm using Windows 11 build 25H2 with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, 32GB of RAM, a B850 LiveMixer Wifi motherboard, and a 7900XTX Sapphire Nitro+ graphics card. My monitors are two Neo G8 Odyssey (S32BG85). I've already tried reinstalling my drivers with DDU and toggling the 240Hz refresh rate back and forth. Does anyone know how to solve this so that HDR can be enabled on both monitors without sacrificing the refresh rate?

First, make sure you're using the right cables for your setup. If you're connecting your monitors using HDMI, double-check that they are HDMI 2.1 cables, as older versions might restrict HDR settings. Also, ensure that you're not using DisplayPort at the same time unless your monitors support it. This info could be a game-changer! Sometimes, the specs of your GPU can make all the difference, so take a look at those too.
When dealing with multiple monitors, especially if one of them is being downgraded, it's essential to ensure that both displays are connected properly. As mentioned, confirm you're on HDMI 2.1 or the appropriate DisplayPort version. Also, sometimes Windows settings need to be adjusted; try playing around with the display settings to see if it prompts any changes.
You might want to explore your graphics card's specifications further. Check if it has any limitations regarding output and HDR support for two displays. Parameters like resolution and refresh rate can sometimes conflict with HDR settings. After researching, if it turns out your GPU can handle dual HDR displays, remember to use the right ports and cables!
