HDMI-CEC Support?

Also. I’m actually trying to use this on windows. It doesn’t work there either.

CEC support is useful today , when we see how much nvidia user are using an LCD , PLASMA TV connected to their NVIDIA cards . Yes it will be friendly , when CEC will supported . I hope NVIDIA will do this feature , if there is no complication with reprogramming the firmware . The Probleme is : changing a big part of API of NVIDIA , that can cause recklocking issues and may be burning the stream processors .

Where in the world did you hear that adding hdmi-cec support would require big changes to the api? And also the bit about burning stream processors?! There’s absolutely no reason for either of those to be true!

CEC is supported on Tegra but when I looked into it a while back, I found that it was not possible to support it on desktop GPUs. I’ll have to check tomorrow to see if the situation has changed with more modern GPUs.

Any news on that aplattner?

Thanks

I managed to confirm that CEC is still not supported on desktop GPU boards.

That’s really disappointing to hear but it’s helpful to know. Thanks for looking into it!

+1

The need is there. And there are already 3’rd party solutions on the market for injecting CEC on HDMI cable.

How come NVIDIA did not jump long time ago to add support?

Could somebody from NVidia explain WHY they don’t plan to support CEC? Tons of people, myself included, connect their NVidia graphics powered PC’s to TV’s to game and watch movies. It seems like something so simple that would be a huge selling point to not already have it implemented, much less not even in the works. Ridiculous.

I have a gaming PC connected to my TV and I’m really interested in this feature as well.

+1 for this. Highly inconvenient. How can low cost ARM devices have this but not an expensive graphics card? Especially when CEC is a standard since HDMI 1.0?

I can’t believe my super cutting-edge 980Ti doesn’t support even the most basic of HDMI-CEC functions. Surely Nvidia realise how many PC owners use their gpus with TVs now?

What’s even more frustrating is there’s a bug in Windows which results in sound being reset to 2ch if you boot your PC before you switch your receiver on (and your amp passes HDMI through, querying the TV and seeing only 2ch output). This would surely be avoided if Nvidia cards switched AV gear on when the PC boots with HDMI-CEC.

I second this. I can’t fathom a reason why Nvidia couldn’t implement this. It would be a massive selling point to differentiate you from the competition. Modern gaming consoles support this, 20 dollar blueray players support this. Can we move into the future already? Imagine every HTPC owner suddenly going team green. Would that be enough to make you guys consider the implementation? You already have the support in your SHIELD lineup…

Wow… I’m just stunned. A $5 Raspberry Pi Zero has features that NVidia cannot “afford” to implement, even on devices targeting HTPC’s like the ION2??? How offensive is that?

I think to support this need hardware as well as software work. Just for tracking nvidia internal ticket: 200190655

Hi everyone.

I have the same problem and really one goes crazy knowing that some cheaper platforms support CEC and NVIDIA GPU doesn’t!

Best regards,
Armando

What a shame that CEC is not activated.

It cost few cents and NVIDIA dont put it in 500$ GPU ??

Come on!

Please activate it in next drivers.

@Sandipt could you ask TechTeam if they could add this with driver update ?

Many users get TV for using with NVIDIA GPU !

Also how to track internal ticket: 200190655 ?

Thanks

But would it not be possible for a chipset integrator to add this functionality? Maybe even just leaving a pinout for addon chips like the Intel Nuc CEC adapter?

Nvidia cards without CEC feature is like a Mercedes without Leather seats .
