Hey guys. Yesterday I got a new GPU - MSI NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5. I reinstalled fully my W10, got the latest drivers for everything, but, my screen looks a bit too dark (compared to the previous state while I was having an old ATI GPU). I have a pretty old monitor, my brightness is set to be 100/100 there.
I've tried to change stuff in the NVidia Control Center, to use my own configuration, and it worked good, BUT, when I launch some games (Guild Wars 2, for example), my brightness (or gama?) goes back to normal and screen becomes darker ("default") again. What should I do to permanently fix this? Thanks!
 
Solution
Open the nvidia Control Panel
Under display click adjust desktop color settings.
Select "Use NVIDIA settings"
Adjust the gamma
For me the settings stay for youtube

Also, there is a Video section Click "Adjust video color settings"
I left this on "With the video player settings"
But if it's still not working with that try clicking "With the NVIDIA settings"
and click the gamma tab and adjust then try again.
I don't know why but I've noticed the same thing in the past. Going ATI to nVidia means going a bit darker. On my old nVidia card I had the gamma turned up a little bit. Not sure what you can do to force the settings to change. (If that option is available you'd find it in the nVidia Control Center.)

I see, but, when I tried to watch something on youtube that has dark scene on it, it was just so dark that I couldn't see a thing (it shouldn't be like that).
