Found the issue. Can't select 10bit as long as my monitor is also connected (since i guess it can't display 10bit on tv and 8bit on monitor at the same time. As soon as i disabled it, 10bit worked! Now, the question remains if 4:4:4 10bit will be a possibility in the future via HDMI between the pascal gpu and the tv(via updated software or something, since it's only a bandwith limitation and nothing else, unless they wanna be assholes about it and make you buy their new tvs/gpus).

Got the GPU connected to a 10bit panel (the KS7502, US's equivalent is KS8500), yet i can only select 8bpc/12bpc from the NVCPL no matter what hz i set for 4k (either 30fps or 60), doesn't matter.

Is this normal? I see a massive confusion as in people saying only quadro cards can output 10bit in windows desktop, whereas others say that they can select 10bpc on their pascal cards.

Max confused.

only works with dp connections imho, and might be only available if only one display is connect (change it then and reconnect other displays, should stay at 10bpc)

Yeah but, can't connect dp to my tv so... am i missing something?

Also from what i read the 10bit 4:4:4 4k hdr isn't possible now due to hdmi limitation. Anyone got a clue if the new cables will be enough to "upgrade" the signal or it's also the fact that the tv will need to be compliant (so in other words only 2017 models?)

which color settings you want to use?

edit: ah you added it

i doubt that tv can do 10bit 4:4:4, check the manual please. only found a romanian site for the ks7502

What HDMI Cable version?


No idea, but can do 4:4:4 4k 60 fps + hdr but 8bit only. Tried dropping to 4:2:0 same options are available.

4k + 10bit , tried 30hz as well still won't come up, only got 8bpc and 12bpc.

Also janz, the 7502 is basically the US's KS8500. So doubt it wouldn't be able to.

Are you sure it is native 10 bit panel and not 8 bit with dithering.

It's the KS8500, so should be yes. Any way to test this myself?

checked the manual, my gipsy isnt good (its non existent) but the tables speak for itself

10bit is only possible with YCbCr 4 2 2 and YCbCr 4 2 0

not with any rgb setting at all!

Yeah, that's basically a limitation of the HDMI 2.0 since all samsung tvs have that:



Problem is, i can't select 10bit even if i change to 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, 30hz 60hz same thing. Also reading conflicting reports about this being a limitation from NVIDIA to desktop only, as it only works in fullscreen so they can push their quadro cards for desktop usage.

Think i'll install alien isolation (since it's supposed to have a 10bit mode) and check that out.

read that: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201612/20161209100212986/LAT-JZDVBEUK-1.1.3.pdf

seems its latvia cause i clicked the wrong button, but its available in gipsy too! the table in the official manual clearly says no 10bit support for rgb output! has nothing to due with the gfx card if the panel just isnt able to due it with rgb and only supports YCbCr 4 2 2 and YCbCr 4 2 0 for 10bit

Janz read again tried 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 as well as all hz options, didn't even bother with RGB.

But pax, issue is current HDMI doesn't support 4:4:4 4k 10bit on any TV, since there are no hdmi 2.1cables yet to allow that much data transfer yet.

My issue is i can't even select that particular 4:2:0 10bit , can only do 12bpc or 8.

No probs.

Using this test via USB stick seems to confirm it's 10bit but.. not sure how to fix actual PC output from my 1070:

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/2269338-10-bit-gradient-test-patterns.html

Shows top layer being 10bit (perfectly smooth), lower layer 8bit (gradient like in steps)..

Still doesn't help me though >.<

Hope Alien Isolation will clarify my issue.

Even RTINGS says this when checking the TV review (mouse over 10bit)..

Quote:
What it is: Number of bits per pixel to represent a specific color. Note: we consider 8-bit with dithering to be equivalent to 10-bit, as long as the 10-bit gradient looks smooth.
When it matters: HDR content like UHD Blu-ray players. Won't matter for cable TV, regular Blu-ray movies, video game consoles or content displayed from a Windows PC. Those are limited to 8-bit color.


Huh..

Ha! Fixed it, check first post. Issue was my monitor also being an active display and obviously being 8bit only fucking up the 10bit output for my tv. Seems you can't display 8bit and 10bit at the same time on different displays.

Because who cares about 10 or 12 bit whent the input signal is 4:2:2 or 4:2:0?


4:2:2 just means the horizontal resolution of the color plane is halved (i.e. for 1920x1080, Y/grayscale plane will be 1920x1080, CbCr/color plane will be 960x1080), which is virtually unnoticeable for motion video. Colors (as in color range) will still be preserved, so 10-bit or 12-bit depth is definitely more important (with a capable display) than horisontal res.

@ Janz
Yeah... I was a bit surprised at his solution Laughing

@ Guy
Can be pretty noticeable in computer usage though, because you can and will have pixel precise color information on some things, albeit seldomly crucial. I KNOW, my display is not capable of 4:4:4. I have a hard time reading some of paxs colored walls of text Sad

10bpc is selectable on 8bit+FRC panels. Most "10bit" TV panels, are actually 8bit+FRC.
Only exception are some G-Sync monitors.
Apparently there is a conflict with the G-Sync module on some 8bit+frc IPS monitors, so they don't allow 10bpc output.
New G-Sync HDR module won't have that problem.

The 10bit mode in Alien Isolation - all it does is smooth the gradients.
You get the same effect in 8-bit by using Deband shader of ReShade.
Very useful shader, some games have inherent banding because of shitty programming and this helps everytime..

@ Shocktrooper
Higher bitdepth can sometimes be replaced with lower bitdeph plus dithering (if done well) without real losses.
Higher bitdepth will smooth gradients. I'd say thats their only function. However, Debanding is usually not the same as not loosing the precision/bitdepth in the first place and then dither it down to 8bit or whatever. But I guess there is a possibility that reshade does it correctly. Do you know if this is the case? I'd be very interested if it does.
If a video player does it, for example, there will be downsides to it, because you would need to reliably detect gradients to be smoothed, but just like denoising it will smooth out details it shouldn't.

@ Nui
https://github.com/crosire/reshade-shaders/blob/master/Shaders/Deband.fx

It works like the mpv/madVR shaders, a bit more customizable. Increasing iterations for better precision at the cost of performance. Increasing Threshold for more strength at the cost of fine details.

10-bit does more than just smoothen the gradients, it increases the amount of gradients that can be displayed from 256 to 1024. But software needs to be programmed for it. Alien 10bit does not make use of that. The HDR games should make use of that (so far: Obscure, Shadow Warrior 2 and RE7. Hitman and more come soon)

Ah okay, so its the arguably destructive thing Razz. In madvr I actually don't use it, because it did seem to lose details.

I just have a different choice of words here, but I understand what you mean. Anyway, SDR can be improved with 10bit (or dithering) for smoother gradients, but HDR probably needs 10bit, s.t. gradients aren't worse than with SDR even. So you mean that Alien is still SDR?

Yeah I read some comparisons back then and as far as I know Alien only smooths the gradations.
It does not display any additional shades and does not make use of wider colour gamuts.
There wasn't even HDR when it came out.

I used the Deband shader in a couple of games, usually 48 threshold, 16 radius and 2 iterations gets rid of almost all artifacts. Only Eleusis and The Fall needed a stronger setting because these games have atrocious banding.
I switched back and forth multiple times to check for missing details, no issues.
The first 1.0 version of the shader really eliminated details but the 1.1 mpv ported algorithm does not seem to have that problem at low enough threshold values.
