  • Windows with colorControl still makes me eye strain

simplex

build number very important: windows 10 1809 LTSC 17763.1098, next 2 CPU updates (kb4589208 and kb5035849) will give you eye-strain back

Sorry for asking again, but does installing just one update kb4589208 cause eye-strain problems?
kb4589208 a very simple update and actually only contains a microcode update for the CPU. It would be useful to clarify whether the processor microcode version is related to the eye-strain problem

Or does the eye-strain problem only occur when two updates (kb4589208 and kb5035849) are combined?

      glvn Sorry for asking again

      I dont know. I found ~5..7pcs of installed KB, after learning what they do, decided to remove this 2

      Yesterday I tried to use win10 22h2 19045.4046, so today I "relax" with good devices and headache lol

        FYI I suspect KB5034763 also brings back eye strain

        I have an RTX A4000 (based on RTX 3070) and measured its output with a lossless capture card in Bios (no dithering by default) and with dithering disabled in Color Control (no dithering picked up either in Windows) but its still doing some type of dithering that cant be picked up by a capture card as the colors look very over exaggerated/noisier than all my other GPU's. I also tested this very thoroughly on builds 1809: 17763.1098, 17763.107, and 17763.55 and it was still unusable. So far i havent seen a single success story with any Ampere cards based on the GA104 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvidia-ga104.g964

            simplex Unusable as in causes too much strain to use, before testing specific 1809 builds i tested 2004/20H2/21H2 and several Linux distros, all of them with the A4000 displayed an unpleasant exaggerated/noisier image. When using the Turing based Quadro RTX 4000 which is basically just a RTX 2070 i can use this without problems on Linux and 1809 with no strain just like my old Quadro K4200.

                I got you, looks like GA104 issue

                My rtx3080 and rtx3080ti are GA102 LHR based chip, no issues in w10 1809. Rtx 2070s is TU104 chip, also OK.

                Your Quadro RTX 4000 setup also unusable in win newer than 1809 (havent tested 1903), or you found something more to use?

                  Well, I tried the windows version you mentioned here and from the installation screen I felt a relief in the eyes. But my problem is I need windows 11 for latest updates for games, some programs which requires 11 version and so on. I feel that the install of windows 10 is not a fully solution, we need to find a way to use windows 11, to disable windows dithering

                    twomee

                    exact build I wrote above?

                    I am in same position: my laptop need modern OS, my software need GPU acceleration introduced in win10 2004+

                        twomee

                        type and execute winver in windows search panel to get build

                        Personally I have been searching from sep23

                            twomee maybe we can pay someone on Fiverr to reverse it and find a way to disable it all

                              twomee some people on led eye strain telegram group have said 4070ti strix on win11 is fine for them. I'm still wondering if it really is or if they aren't as sensitive to the OS stuff

                                  simplex I already uninstall it because it caused a problems in my dual boot. I’m sorry to hear that… six month of investigation and nothing so far…

                                  jordan I’m not sure I convinced that the latest graphic card will solve this problem, and if so, what will be the solution for laptop with graphic card?

                                  I’m not sure if someone in fiver will have our symptoms so it will be hard to hire someone which not in ledstrain community
