novideo_srgb VS TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker

The only way to fix this issue is to use an open-source utility called novideo_srgb. https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb

There's novideo_srgb but it only works for Nvidia cards.

I haven't watched the video but just in case it isn't mentioned there I want to mention it here: You need to consider Windows' inability to properly color manage, you will see oversaturated colors in most applications unless you use a tool like: https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb

Also, since you're concerned about color accuracy, check out this program: https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb

And while you're at it, be sure to clamp your monitor to sRGB with this tool for NVIDIA cards, unless your monitor can properly display HDR.

- Odd default color settings; saturation is too high, and the default gamma curve is too high causing everything to be washed out (with no setting to adjust gamma specifically; I can't seem to find good settings myself). If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you can use novideo_srgb in conjunction with RTING's ICC profile and monitor settings to get (what I perceive to be) near perfect colors.

Unfortunately yes. The display comes "color calibrated", there's even a nice report included as seen here, however it's with a widen colour gamut of 125% sRGB. There's an sRGB mode, but it locks the brightness to 75, which is too much imo. Currently I'm using this program to clampen it, which I'd say works quite well, but I can't verify if it's 100% sRGB with this and I don't have an ICC profile to ensure so. The AMD catalyst driver has something similair to this integrated for folks that have an AMD GPU.

For wide-gamut monitors that have oversaturation, I highly recommend novideo_srgb for Nvidia, or using AMD's own SRGB clamp to clamp colors down to SRGB to fix oversaturation. It'll fix oversaturation for the entire screen, not just a specific application. You can also use your own color profile for more accurate colors with novideo_srgb.

get the srgb clamp tool , go to advanced-dithering : enable, spatialDynamic2x2, 8bit (or 10 if your monitor is 10bit native). dont need to do anything else, dont need to activate the clamp.

Here's the thread where I found the settings that gave me the best results for novideo_srgb: https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb/issues/18 I'd follow aufkrawall's findings, as those worked really well for me.

I use this program to do my GPU updates. I keep GeForce installed just for the recording features but this tool makes updating so much simpler, and much quicker than GeForce ever did

You could use https://github.com/ElPumpo/TinyNvidiaUpdateChecker, that'll pop up a little window once it finds a newer driver was released.

Also Tiny Nvidia Update Checker. Checks for updates and prompts you when there's a new version.

I don't install Nvidia's driver package because it's full of garbage I don't want, like geforce experience and telemetry. this handy tool lets me just install driver updates without any extra junk.
