Just put 3 big patches in MS paint with R 255, G255, B255 each one and see how they vary changing that nvidia panel settings. Windows Display Color Transform (DCT) with Microsoft Hardware Calibration (MHC) ICC profile appliedīut if somebody has an nvidia with a widegamut dsplay configured in a native colrospace preset it will be better to confirm it. This pipeline is used if there are no pixel color enhancements from the OS or from color adjustment applications such as the NVIDIA Control Panel.Īccurate:Rendered pixels are processed using one of the following:Color space conversion (CSC) or custom gamma ramp via NvAPI Reference:Rendered pixels are processed through the GPU pipeline in 1:1 pixel color-matching mode. Regarding post from it seems it works the opposite I guessed: Reference = old ways, accurate = EDID translation.

OTOH and AMD just need to use its propietary drivers and it’s bandless as long as you use Displa圜AL loader, no matter how many bits in HW link.
Weird as always have been with nvidia and their poor color quality once you start playing with LUTs. A side effect is that if a display does not accept 10bit you may not be able to configure 10bpc and you’ll have banding (unless dither trick). Nvidia truncates output to bpc with no dither, hence it is important even if you only use desktop apps that compose images in 8bit. The desktop and most applications don’t benefit from having the output set to 10 bit (unless you have HDR turned on I guess) since they don’t use either api that is required.
The 10bit opengl support was important since that’s what creative apps like photoshop use. Nvidia has supported 10bit output in directx for a long time. Why they don’t just enable 10bit as an option in the Game Ready drivers is beyond meġ0bit opengl support was added to the game ready drivers a little over a month after it was added to the studio drivers. NOTE: If the Override to reference mode check box is selected, these controls are set to default values but are greyed out and cannot be changed. When selected, color adjustments from the OS or other adjustment applications are ignored and rendered pixels are processed through the GPU pipeline in 1:1 pixel matching mode. Override to reference mode: Select this check box to override the current color processing and force the reference mode.
Displays the current color accuracy mode – reference, accurate, or enhanced.
