AMD GPU's

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 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 Do you feel well with it?

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

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.

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

Just tried Super resolution and on the highest(!) resolution available(2,28xnative resolution). On similar scaling for some reason reading text is easier on the eyes. Not sure why, it is different kind of sharpness? If reading gets easier, eye sore should get bit less. Thanks for the suggestion

hayder1983 I have a dock for my steam deck but unfortunately at the current time I can only use hdmi with it, not displayport yet (waiting on an update, none of my dp adapters work with it). I do think I can see frc dithering on desktop mode, but the thing is, I'm using a monitor that ALREADY has frc dithering.. so I can't easily tell if it's both the panel and the driver at the same time or just one. I'm fine with the purchase, it isn't perfect but it is usable and I don't feel the need to get rid of it. Will be interesting to see what updates to it (kernel, driver, etc.) do.

I still prefer using my older PC as a desktop, I don't use the SD as a desktop even tho it's more powerful. I'll re-consider down the road when support for Windows dual-boot is better.

I tried the limited rgb in linux on nvidia. I remember still having eye strain.

I contacted AMD earlier this year and spoke to a rep that consulted engineering. I was told that the 6500xt (I specifically asked about that card as I’m interested in it) does not have temporal dithering on. I read dithering in this thread quite a bit and sometimes it’s hard to tell if people are referring to static or temporal. I plan to buy a 6500xt before they EoL and add it to my next build whenever that should be.

This is a super interesting piece of information. If the 6500xt is really dithering free, that would be an option, but it is more or less super weak in games. Well, that means i would need a multi-PC setup
