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.

That's insane! Are there even any monitors/TV's that are capable of 30-bit color?

its 10bit per channel with no apha.
32 bit is 24 bits + 8 bit alpha.

what does this mean in regards to 10 bit color we are used to in monitors or tv's(or 8 bit for that matter), and is it even feasible to use on desktop monitors in display port 1.2?

In layman's terms, what exactly does this bring to the average gaming, browsing, odd bit of messing around in photoshop, Joe ?

I would think nada, zylch, as most if not all users use 8 bit panels, certainly in gaming, but it might provide better image quality once supported by your monitor(proffesional) in creative applications. This was once reserved to the expensive quadro cards, up till now.

The color depth setting in nvcp is bugged with this driver. its at 8bit greyed out, so I am unable to choose anything.

10bit mode is triggered when you run an application that sets an opengl 10bit mode in the specific case that it is enabled for in this driver.
i don't think it would do so anyway since your G24 is 8bit only.

Ive installed it on my living room PC which is connected to a 10bit 4k HDR. It is a proplem for windows though, but usually i can set it to 8bit or 12bit.

sounds like a bug, or limitation in their 10bit studio support atleast.

As a professional photographer, I’ve been waiting a long time for this. It wasn’t worth buying a workstation card as I also like to game. This makes it easier to see smooth transitions in the tones. I feel like they were certainly holding this feature back but AMD started providing this awhile back. Almost like got a free “upgrade” so I’ll take it.

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.
