10bit Colour
Hi there, just as the title suggests, how do i change my display to 10bit colour, this display can either be overclocked to 180hz but only be 8bit, or overclock off and 10bit is available

Also as a side question, how would i go about enabling gsync?
it says "on" for gsync in the menu of the monitor, so im assuming its on completely but not sure if bazzite side it needs configuring
this would have been in the nvidia settings, however since we are wayland only and nvidia has not ported the settings to wayland yet, if "adaptive sync" is not shown in display settings then you are waiting for nvidia.
no idea about the rest since i am on amd and dont have fancy displays
Ah okay adaptive sync is there so I'm assuming just have that set rather then gsync? I thought there was a difference between the two
gsync and adaptive sync are the same thing (VRR) in the end
freesync and gsync are just different implementations
Gotcha, and there's no performance or technical difference at all between the two?
and since a lot more of the display control is handled by the DE in wayland, that option is your best bet, but since i neither use nvidia on linux or have a gsync display i can only guess
gsync (actual gsync) has a proprietary nvidia module in the display
freesync (which nvidia labels as a "lesser gsync" or whatever, dont remember their namings) is all gpu hardware based with some firmware support in the display
in the end both are Adaptive Sync or VRR (Variable refresh rate)
i have never owned anything gsync so i cant tell you which implementation is better
although i know there is a lot of bad freesync implementations on displays that cause flickering in linux :clueless:
Ahhh gotcha, yeh this monitor has that module for sure, g-sync ultimate if i remember right it had on the box 😄
