Download: NVIDIA Studio Driver 431.70 WHQL
Latest NVIDIA Studio Driver Now Available. the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver provides optimal support for the latest releases of top creative applications including Magix VEGAS Pro v17, Autodesk Arnold, Allegorithmic Substance Painter 2019.2, Blender 2.80, Cinema 4D R21, and Otoy Octane Render 2019.2.
In addition, this new NVIDIA Studio Driver introduces support for 30-bit color across all product lines, including GeForce and TITAN, for the first time, allowing for seamless color transitions without banding. With 24-bit color, a pixel can be built from 16.7 million shades of color. By increasing to 30-bit color, a pixel can now be built from over 1 billion shades of color, which eliminates the abrupt changes in shades of the same color.
NVIDIA Studio Drivers provide artists, creators and 3D developers the best performance and reliability when working with creative applications. To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond.

You're confused about whats happening here.
This has nothing to do with your ability to set your screen to 10bit, it has to do with OpenGL workstation applications previously having no 10bit window support in the opengl client driver on Geforce and Titan parts, they were artificially restricted to 8bit.

Just in case, the studio driver also works with Maxwell GPU (GTX970, 980 and mobile version etc..) and they are supposed to support 10 bit as well !
You just need to mod the nv_dispsi.inf file (in Display.Driver folder after extraction) and disable driver signature enforcement.
Note: For now I can't try the 10 bit workflow in Premiere Pro CC, I don't have a 10 bit monitor with display port at home... just a 4K HDR TV with hdmi port and laptop screen. But if someone want a modded INF to try that, let me know : )

They've been around for years. 10-bit displays are called that because they support 10 bits per color channel. There's three color channels total (red, green and blue, aka RGB.) Three times 10 equals 30. That's what "30 bit" means in this driver.
So in a sense, 10-bit color and 30-bit color are the same thing, just spelled differently. I suppose the professional photography and video crowd have their own nomenclature. We call it 10-bit, they call it 30-bit.
Thanks for the lesson mate
