NVIDIA to Support 4K Netflix on GTX 10 Series Cards

[bug]

Hate to break it to you, but nvidia is screwing you. You're not getting 10-bit from your game cards. You have to be using a Quadro. And for Adobe you have to enable 30 bit display in the preferences and advanced settings. And for the control panel driver setting it has to be set at 10-bit. Then there's the fact that your 10-bit monitor is probably 8+FRC, which is fake.

I wonder how they'll handle this scam they've been running when people try to play HDR content on their $2000 HDR monitors that go on sale this month. On the desktop your game cards only do 8-bit. They only do 10-bit in DX games.

Can you make up your mind?
The only thing that requires a Quadro is 10bit for OpenGL (which kinda sucks for Linux, but Linux has more stringent issues anyway).
And yes, 10bit requires an end-to-end solution to work, that's in no way particular to Nvidia.

That were actually loosen a bit from pascals, they support full screen 10bit games under OpenGL.

Meanwhile, with all of this chat of 10bit color support and HDR, I reached out to NVIDIA to see if they’d be changing their policies for professional software support. In brief, NVIDIA has traditionally used 10bit+ color support under OpenGL as a feature differentiator between GeForce and Quadro. GeForce cards can use 10bit color with Direct3D, but only Quadro cards supported 10bit color under OpenGL, and professional applications like Photoshop are usually OpenGL based.

For Pascal, NVIDIA is opening things up a bit more, but they are still going to keep the most important aspect of that feature differentiation in place. 10bit color is being enabled for fullscreen exclusive OpenGL applications – so your typical OpenGL game would be able to tap into deeper colors and HDR – however 10bit OpenGL windowed support is still limited to the Quadro cards. So professional users will still need Quadro cards for 10bit support in their common applications.

It doesn't matter if it's from 2009. Movies have been shot and edited in 8-bit for the longest time, since 10-bit in Adobe is only a recent upgrade. And none of you had 10-bit IPS monitors to begin with. They're fairly new still. And yes, 10-bit for Adobe has only been for Quadro. Your game cards only had 10-bit access for DX games. Linux drivers for both cards support 10-bit, but who is going to use it? Adobe dun work for Linux, bruhs.

And it's not just OpenGL. Your pics will have banding in them even with 30 bit display enabled in Adobe unless you have a Quadro.

You've totally lost me. How is this related to the newly added Netflix support?

It seems like that non-professional cards are not properly supporting 10-bit / channel, but instead is something like 8+2 bit, by doing dithering, which is no way same as native 10-bit.

Exactly. Nvidia is screwing you. You only get 10-bit on the desktop and in Adobe if you have a Quadro. So don't waste your money on an HDR or even 10-bit monitor unless you have a Quadro. And the companies are lying to you as well. Most 4K monitors under $1000 are not true 10-bit panels. They're 8+FRC.

Nope. Monitors can do 8bit+FRC, the video card can't. And even then, the eye can't really tell the difference. We've had 8bit mimicked as 6bit+FRC before, it wasn't a big deal. Of course, for critical work you want the real deal, but for most people, it doesn't really matter.
For 10bit support, you need the video card+OS+monitor to work hand in hand. This isn't new, it's been known for ages. Most likely test1test2 made an uniformed buy and is now venting over here.

Again, how exactly is Nvidia screwing us? If you do professional work, you buy a professional card. If you play games/watch Netflix, a GeForce is enough. Where's the foul play? How is Nvidia different from AMD? And once again, how is this related to the topic at hand?

Because one day you're going to want to watch an HDR MOVIE on your DESKTOP with your GAME card, and you will NOT be allowed to. HDR requires 10-bit and your GAME cards are LOCKED OUT. What do you not understand about the drivers restrict them to ONLY displaying 10-bit and HDR in DX games?? On the desktop and in Adobe your game cards only do 8-bit. And NO it has not been known for ages. Nvidia keeps this crap secret. I know for a FACT that you have no idea how to enable 30 bit display in Adobe. So don't give me any crap.

Adobe only added support for 30-bit in 2015.

i dunno, my 4K UHD samsung HDTV quite happily runs HDR content (and yes, it notifies me when i enable it in games like resident evil or ME:A)

The limitations are on the TV side with HDMI, and not the GPU (HDMI cant do 4:4:4/RGB with the 12 bit color only 4:2:2 12 bit, DP can but my TV doesnt have that)

Only 5 posts and already git an attitude. Keep it up, dude.
