[SOLVED] 8 bit + FRC?

So 8-bit can show 16 million colors while 10-bit can show 1 billion colors, and 8-bit + FRC basically "fakes" it's way into getting closer to 10-bit?

Is that how it is or am I getting it wrong?

Also, in a real world scenario, would a 8+2 bits (FRC) look better than 8-bit in terms of color quality / look?

Or would the 8+2 bits simply show less banding compared to 8-bit but have the same color quality / look?

This was a pretty good explanation of that found here though you will need to read the rest of the thread. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3320965/true-10bit-8bit-frc.html

I'll chime in on just one point Unless you're a Photo editor, the cost difference for general use doesn't justify the higher price tag.

That was really helpful!

But I'm still wondering, for 100% sRGB (non-Adobe) if the difference between 8-bit and 8-bit FRC is simply that the later doesn't show banding, or does it also shows many more colors? hence better for color grading
