[Issue]: Your PC GPU does not support streaming HDR. The stream will be SDR.

[lilpetamoix]

Describe the bug

When using moonlight android client on a sunshine host with 4090, I get the pop up message "Your PC GPU does not support streaming HDR. The stream will be SDR." This happens regardless of using AV1 or HEVC codecs.

When using the same moonlight android client on a different sunshine host with 3090 (yes, diff gpu and not a typo), then I don't get the pop up message at all.

Steps to reproduce

Use moonlight android client (HDR enabled) on a sunshine host with 4090 with HDR desktop and auto HDR enabled.

Additional context

Nvidia control panel was also reset to default settings. Using virtual display driver with HDR as a headless setup. I don't mean to make this any more confusing but I don't get this error when using moonlight ios client on ipad pro with HDR enabled to the same 4090 host. I don't get the error and seems like HDR works fine on ipad pro moonlight client.
