Grapics card with support for Adobe RGB Monitor

[Eric72]

I recently purchased this monitor, with 99% Adobe RGB Color Gamut. Which graphics cards will be able to display all colors onto this monitor? Would a 1060 work? Thanks.

Several issue come up here.

First is/does the monitor require 10 bit color? If this is the case then for windows, you need a quaddro or firepro card. Windows drivers do not enable 10 bit color on the gamer cards even though they do support it. (The linux driver do). You would also need to use display port or HDMI as dvi does not have the bandwidth to support 10bit color.

Next up is that wide gamut doesnt require 10bit color. You can still use an 8bit color card with a wide gamut monitor. I look at it like this. Going from black to the highest level of red, a 10bit enabled card would have 1024 different 'shades' available within that range. An 8 bit card would only have 256. The 10 bit card can show more colors but both use the same range (min to max) of the available colorspace.

Lastly, while the difference in going from srgb (standard gamut) to Adobe RGB is easily noticable. Going from 8 bit to 10bit is less so (depending on how good your eyesight is) so if you feel the need to go a 10bit path you might want to try and see how good your eyes are first. Perhaps find someone in your area with a true 10bit setup and see how much of a difference it really is for you. True 10bit being much more expensive to get the same gpu performance as a gamer gpu.
