hayder1983 I use an Nvidia 1050 Ti on Windows with no eye strain (on Linux I experience strain with the card) and a HD4000 on Linux with no strain. I havent found any Macbooks yet that I tolerate. I am pretty sure dithering is the culprit for me.

    Can someone try to choose at Display tab in AMD adrenalin settings Vivid in Display Color Enhancement in AMD adrenalin settings. I'm not sure if this helped right now, fonts are sharper, white is so good as a minus is black crush, but since lower gamma make me feel a bit better it's good for me. Actually i like an image. Interesting notice, that white is brighter than before but strange that it doesn't burn eye's. Something related to black/gray or gamma causing bad symptom's probably for me. I should add, that brightness of my display is set on 0, gamma is 1, sharpness at lowest.

      WeinTrust That is interesting. Did you try raising contrast to 125 instead of vivid colors? I think has a very similar effect without the oversaturation. Raising contrast in the display driver is somehow different than raising it on your monitor, whites will be crushed, but i have seen some people do it on purpose. Not sure i like it, but perhaps it helps.

      I dont use brightness 0. I use contrast 0 and adjust only brightness to 35 on my benq and 65 on my eizo(this is darker than the benq). If you have a problem with peak brightness try this.

      What helped me was deinstalling adrenalin drivers and taking AMD Pro drivers. Text is very clear and sharp with that driver. Gaming perfomance is the same i think.

      I get more Eyepain, with too much green in my white point(for example Benq monitor R/G/B=97/87/94 is much better for me, than perfect white). Dont know why, tried it with various monitors. And RGB limited on monitor and display drivers is essential to make HDR watchable.

        karut Well, then you can try ATI 6bit. Use the AMD Pro drivers instead of adrenalin drivers. (see post above)

        If you want to play video games on 1080p 6600xt is ok, i can play cyberpunk on medium details, Witcher3 & Borderlands 3 on high-highest. Will be ok for the next 4 years i think. If you are using more than 1080p think about a higher think about the 6700xt or 6800xt. Just saying πŸ˜‰

        I wanted to try my wifes Macbook, but hadnt the time for it till now.

        So basically, to change the AMD GPU output color depth ( to 6 bit in my case ) , we need to connect via Display Port or HDMI is working too?

          I downloaded AMD Pro Driver fro my 6500XT ( connected to Monitor via HDMI ) and I'm able to change Color Depth 8, 10 or 12 ( photo 1 ).

          Also, I'm able to change Full RGB ( default settings ) to Limited RGB !!! What a big difference ( photo 2 & 3 ).

            Are you able to use 6bit colors? I have tried it with 3 monitors, always worked with a DP-cable, never with a HDMI-cable

              hayder1983 No , i don't have that option πŸ€” min for me is 8 bit via HDMI. Need and DP to try it ( my monitor also doesn't have DP port :// )

                Allekss #OK. Dont buy an adapter cable, it wont give you the option. Tried it with DP-to-DVI, doesnt work, it display DVI as connection, see below.

                  hayder1983 i have to test it for a week or two. If it doesn't work, i assume it is a body/physical issue for me!!

                  Should your problem not go away, send your card back and try glasses and eyedrops/healing ointment. It helped me reduce eye strain a lot. Dithering is still a problem for me, watching TV is still straining to me, but using the PC is much better now. I just have 0,75 dioptrin on each eye, still made a huge difference.

                  You could also try lenses, because it would be cheaper to try. They cost like under 20$ for 30 lenses.

                  hayder1983 I've just tried to play with contrast both in adrenalin and monitor, look like vivid gaming doing something with gamma i guess, completly different results. I'm trying to adjust green, much green in some videos and artifacts on black shades.

                    WeinTrust i think it is much more contrast and different gamma, which will oversaturate a lot colors and change gamma for all colors. I cant find a sweet point that way.

                    I am pretty sure dithering is not off, even with 6bit colors. I can see the dithering on grey and white. Dont buy a new AMD card just to turn off dithering, it doesnt work. Sorry πŸ™

                    Allekss yes, limited rgb was a big difference for me (also available in nvidia). try the virtual super resolution too. i think it changes the temporal dithering effect.

                      reaganry You are right. Look it does calmer to you?

                      The option right below(GPU-Skalierung, dont know the english name) seems to affect dither too, at least on my old LG. I am using it on native resolution. You can use them both at once. Not sure why this makes a difference, but it looks like it does.

                      I just changed the monitor driver for my super old LG monitor and i am using the "PnP-Monitor" now. It is different now, still dithering. AMD Pro driver still knows what monitor is connected.

                      I just tried using different color scheme on my browser with colors of the 6bit palette(see below). I have to test it a few days, so i dont imagine things…

                      I dont think anything in the settings of driver will really disable it. It seems dithering is everywhere. Steam deck is supposed to have no dithering at all(not sure) and it has windows emulated on it. I will try to plug it on an Monitor in a few days( not today, my brain is overheating) and see for my self. I could live with Steam deck+Monitor with integrated docking station as an Home PC. I have everything at home right now, just need the time to do it πŸ™‚
