Hi guys,
First of all, if a similar query has already been explained and answered before, then please kindly re-direct me to that thread/topic. I'm too lazy to search the forums, lol. Though, I did Google search but couldn't find any concrete answers.
Anyway, this is just a short question. I'm having the following Monitor model, BenQ EX2510S. I have an AMD RX 480 GPU, and in the Radeon Software control panel, there are 3 settings to choose from when it comes to the "Color Depth", 8bpc, 10bpc and 12bpc, under advanced display settings.
I'm actually confused, because which one of those values should I select and choose when playing GAMES, or Watching HD Movies ? Okay, I know higher the color depth, the more accurate and deep the colors are going to be displayed on-screen? Or is it something else in theory ?
But my main point is, which of those values shall I use at least when playing GAMES ? Will there be a huge visual difference noticeable on the screen whilst gaming ? I do also enable HDR as well, depending on the game being played, but shall I stick with the highest 12bpc value for everything ? Any disadvantage if I use 8bpc value instead of 10 or 12bpc in games or movies ?
I think for Animation/Visual 3D Modelling, Photoshop, SFX, MAYA, Video editing/production, and stuff like that, 12bpc value would be beneficial? For gaming, just 8bpc ?
