Do you use Digital Vibrance?

akirru · 30 Oct 2006 at 18:07

I've been messing around with it (just returned to nvidia) and I like it but no higher than the low setting.

What do you guys think of it?

Where is it in the Control Panel? I have the 92.91 drivers, so it's the old Control Panel.

edit: Ahhh, i see it now. Yeah, not bad. I've set it to 25% for now. Thanks for the heads up.

i dont use it

Is there a way to set it for 3D only? It's either Desktop or all, which makes the desktop too contrasty for my liking but looks nice and rich for gaming.

As I currently have it off for the meantime, if there was a way to set it for 3D only.

Oooo, Nice heads up.

Not going to use it tho, nice effects tho.

I'm not sure but it looks really impressive in the game I've tried it "ON" with, Prey

its one feature that Nvidia have that I wish ATI had also...its make some games look a lot more colourful and vibrant. I always used it but only put it about 1/4 to 1/3rd up....looks bad if you go any higher.

I have it just below the first marker

Very good feature

had it on for months! makes games look the shiznitz

Thanks for that, going to try Graw now

Stellios · 31 Oct 2006 at 00:36

Its brilliant, and if i moved to ATi im very sure i would miss it, unless ATi use it too?

wiggy · 31 Oct 2006 at 00:37

^^ I just moved from ati and did not see it in ccc panel. Nice feature!

I don't like it much. Seems similar to using a boomy bass booster on music and distorting the sound from what it's supposed to be like.

Or like the Crystalizer on X-Fi.

I'd love to know too. That'd be perfect!

I just stuck BF2142 on with Digital Vibrance on 80% and it was the most magnificent thing i've ever seen on my PC. Of course I was using 4x AA/ 16xAF and all the in-game settings on high thanks to my new 7900GTO. Camp Gibraltor looked simply stunning.

cant believe how many peeps dont use digital vibrance, used it for years!

Darkwave · 31 Oct 2006 at 09:35

People asking about ATI and digital vibrance might want to check out smart shaders.

I missed digital vibrance too when I last went from Nvidia to ATI but smart shaders are bloody fantastic and do practically the same thing depending on which ones you use.

rangor gubbins · 31 Oct 2006 at 10:25

I use just a smidgen of digital vibrance. It certainly makes games look better, but i find some webpages can look a little odd.

MadMatty · 31 Oct 2006 at 10:25

I found it useful on an old monitor like my syncmaster 15GLe since it has low colour output. but on any modern screen, it just over saturates the colours even on low and doesnt look that nice.
