How to Enable 10bit color on a Viewsonic VX3276-2K-MHD?

[blackd51th]

Hi everyone,

 

So I bought a Viewsonic VX3276-2k-mhd monitor which supports 10bit color(at least that's what it says on the website). I'm trying to use 10bit color on the monitor but I'm having trouble doing that. When I searched online, a lot of topics are saying that I can enable it on the nVidia control panel but the options these topics are mentioning are greyed out on my control panel. I'm using a Gigabyte GTX 1070. I'm using a HDMI cable to connect the monitor to the PC.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You need to select the "Use NVIDIA settings" option above the detailed options in order to un-grey them.

Hi, I tried doing that too. But I don't see any option for 10bpc. Only the 8bpc is available...

You probably need to use DisplayPort.

It is an 8 bit monitor.

Got into the habit of calling 8bit + FRC 8bit.

I might try and see what happens with a Display Port cable.

If that didn't work out, does that mean that this is only a 8bpc monitor??

It is an 8 bpc panel which reproduces 10 bpc color using FRC. The implementation doesn't matter though, since it should accept a 10 bpc signal either way.
