Nvidia cards don't display full RGB color via HDMI—here's a fix

Quote:
If you're using HDMI output with an Nvidia graphics card, you likely aren't getting full and accurate color range, specifically at the black and white ends of the spectrum. For some reason, Nvidia cards default to Limited RGB (16-235 levels of differentiation per color) when using HDMI, despite a PC display's ability to support full RGB (0-255 colors).This driver issue has been affecting the HDMI output of Nvidia cards for years, and could be limiting your color range without you knowing it. Luckily there's a fix.

PC Gamer contributor and all-around PC modding hero Peter "Durante" Thoman has released a simple patch to fix the Nvidia color issue. Before Thoman's patch, the only way to fix the issue was via editing your driver's .ini files before installation.

Limited RGB is a setting designed for TVs, which use a video range of 16-235. In full RGB, each of the three additive primary colors (red, green, blue) has a full range of zero to 255 color value, but in limited RGB the extremes of that spectrum are stripped away. Any color value of 16 or below is just displayed as 16, and anything in the 235-255 range defaults to 235. Presumably, using HDMI output made Nvidia cards think they were displaying to a TV, locking into the TV-designed limited RGB setting even when a full RGB-capable monitor was in use.

A quick test to see if you're experiencing the issue is to open this image, courtesy of a helpful Reddit poster. If you see four distinct shades, two white on the left, two black on the right, then you're in the clear. But if you only see a black and a white column, you have the problem.

Isn't this a old issue (A few years?) that Nvidia so far has not fixed?
(Maybe this recent publicity will now make them fix it properly.)

Yeah it would seem so (I've just started reading comments and posts, many people are somehow unaffected by this issue).
Durante's tool was also created a few years back.

PCGamer's article made me think it's news. Sorry Wink

It's a little late for PC Gamer to be reporting that, a fix is coming before the end of the year. Razz

My monitor lets me to choose between either Full RGB, Limited RGB, YUV or Auto with notable differences, so I guess if I force Full RGB, I should be safe.

Ad PhysX + Smoke - finally, Solid Snake will get proper cigarette smoke rendering in future HD remakes.

Did you miss the part it was Nvidia telling these are only 3%?

Of course they do whatever they can top avoid mass-replacing shitloads of GTX970. That's billions of loss.

Nvidia reps on Guru3D/Nvidia forums mentioned that if you want - refund is possible.

But they also work on "new drivers" to "address this issue".

I ordered GB 970 Windforce today. Even after all that shit they pulled off i couldn't find any alternative. 970 still beats everything in that price range and 980 is not worth the money. ATI...ehh i would buy it if i would need it only for the games, but for the graphics and 3D programs i use Nviidia is still better.

And i have 2x Full HD monitors so wont even notice that "3,5gb" bug.

This doesn't sound impossible, they could play around with how the last 0.5GB is used. Of course that won't make it a true "full speed" 4GB card.
