help with windows 10 HDR / 10 bit nvidia

[domjam]

im very confused. i recently got a Sony xe93 and i can not for the life of me get it to display correctly. under Nvidia control panel change resolution. i just have 8 bit under Output colour depth. and limited under output dynamic range. on all but RGB. and trying to turn on windows advance colour dose not work either. yet in the TV settings i have it set to enhanced mode and i am using a HDMI 2.0 cable connected from port 3 to my graphics card 1080ti. i am getting 4k @60hz but no 10bit option. I really need to get this sorted out as i only just got this tv yesterday and if its a fault on the tv side i need to send it back. is there anyone in this group that has a xe93 and has set it up for 10 bit? im lost.

4K 60 Hz 10 bpc is beyond the limit of HDMI 2.0. Maximum is 50 Hz with HDR unless it supports HDR with YCbCr 4:2:2 or 4:2:0.

It's beyond the limit of HDMI 2.0, no TV can support 4K 60 Hz RGB/4:4:4 and 10 bpc HDR at the same time.

that still dosent answer why i cant enable 10 bit or windows advanced colour setting even when i lower to 50hz....the tv is 10bit so why is windows reporting it as only 8bit.

Is 8 bpc the only option available for all color options? (RGB, YCbCr)

fixed it. it was a driver issue.. its odd that it defaults to 8bit rgb limited though. and when i switch to windows advanced colour windows reports it listed as 10bit/YCbCr/422 but windows looks horrible having advance colour switched on. everythign is washed out and just looks crap. I seem to have to manually set it in Nvidia control panel to 10bit/YCbCr/422 then windows reports it as that but keeping advanced colour o and when playing an HDR game have to set advanced colour to on before launching the game for it to work.

Not really strange, 8 bpc RGB is the standard for computers. It takes more bandwidth than YCbCr 4:2:2 or 4:2:0, which is why HDMI 2.0 doesn't have enough to do RGB and 10 bpc at the same time.

YCbCr 4:2:2 removes half the color information from the image, and 4:2:0 removes three quarters, so there's really no point in 10 bpc color depth if you have to run 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 to get it.

I would advise just sticking with 8 bpc RGB.

it is strange beacuse it should be set to full not limited if its at 8 bit. and what about HDR content? if i dont set windows to 10 bit i dont get HDR enabled. and this tv is an HDR display
