issue is not apparent with MADVR 09024, something must have changed after that to change the way the calibration off setting interacts with my TV, i'll fully configure this version and test again as I've tested it with no settings changes apart from adding DIRECT3D11 tick as it wasnt ticked as default in this old version, could be something i'm doing wrong when configuring MADVR, its more likely something changed in MADVR that doesnt play nice with my TV.

Ha...thought it might be the amd thing so I checked on an RX580, Win 10 1709, built in screen - picture is still the same, no matter what D3D or fullscreen mode is used.

Well i've found one issue, or at least the setting that might be causing it, someone might be able to explain whats going on now. Its in TV properties, if I choose 8 bit its ok, if I choose 10bit (or higher) I get those nasty reds, positive my TV is 10 bit, could it be 8 bit afterall or is something else going on here?

here is my TV model and specs - supposed to be 10 bit

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/ef9500


edit - reinstalled latest version, same behaviour, picture back to normal with 8 bit enabled instead of 10 bit in display properties.

This setting, what does it actually do?


EDIT 2 - with this settinng set to 8 bit I lose HDR passthrough mode - no more HDR .


here is my config screen -

(( screeshot doesnt capture the red tones for some reason, everything is unticked)

@mclingo: perhaps the TV goes into forced native gamut mode if you enable 10 bit manually (it is sometimes erroneously associated with wider gamut)...that would mean MadVR communicates with the TV...what happens if you changed bitdepth in Radeon settings?

Another clue: I think it is said that 10 bit works only in D3D11, that might explain the difference between D3D9 and D3D11? in D3D9 it is always 8 bit and that's why it looks OK

ok, getting some odd behaviour here, here is what i've found.

AMD control panel - MADVR - result
8 bit 442 8 bit ok
8 bit 442 10 bit ok
10 bit 442 10 bit blown reds
10 bit 442 8 bit ok
8 bit 444 RGB 8 bit ok
8 bit 444 RGB 10 bit blown reds

this and my results would suggest to me that MADVR is processing 8 bit movies incorrectly in that the only way to solve this is to force MADVR into 8 bit when it plays 8 bit movies, how can I be the only one seeing this though, do you have 10 bit enabled in MADVR, on your AMD card and have DIRECT3D enabled?

Considering it works for everyone else, it seems more likely that either your graphics card/driver or your TV behave badly when processing 10-bit.
The processing on madVRs side for 8 or 10-bit output is quite the same, only the number of bits in the final output step is different.

Looks like it may also be a MadVR -> AMD driver issue...I could connect it to an oldish plasma tomorrow or a monitor with HDMI even, since I can't get to my regular TVs over this weekend, and see if i can replicate over HDMI...

sorry, maybe i'm misunderstanding the implication of what you just said , are you saying you have the same problem now on your Rig or that you havent actually tested it yet using a 4K AMD card?

Your assistance is much appreciated but dont put yourself too much.

another oddity. If I put my gfx card in 8 bit 442 and MADVR in 10 bit it looks ok and HDR works, guess this is the easiest workaround for now, just not sure why this doesnt work if I put my GFX in full RGB 444 and MADVR to 10 bit, I get blown out reds, this makes no sense at all.

I can leave with my GFX set to 8 bit for now until I can get some help getting to the bottom of this.

When using 8-bit output from the gfx card always set madVR to 8-bit. You do not want madVR dithering to 10-bit and then the GPU dithering that to 8-bit, better to simply dither to 8-bit once.

Why not use the gfx card set to RGB 8-bit? At least on Nvidia, HDR still works when using 8-bit RGB output and the quality would be better than having madVR set to 10-bit.

It sounds like your TV is bad at processing 10-bit input.

unfortunately I cant set MADVR to 8 bit, HDR stops working in that it no longer triggers HDR mode on my TV.

The other option is to configure calibration but calibrating it for BT709 still looks a bit too red and BT2020 a bit too yellow, the correct setting seems to be somewhere in middle, rock and hard place...

AMD's drivers are weird.

8 bit may work with the windows API the AMD API needs 10 bit because AMD...

ive gone back to using the calibration, i've calibrated for DCI-P3 with BT706/601 curve@2.20 - It seems to be good enough and I can run my full rig in 10 bit again. If anyone else has this issue or has an idea what it might be let me know.

Cheers all for your input.

It's OK, I'm a tinkerer the RX580 is in a laptop and I can't reproduce your problem on laptop's monitor...

I connected the laptop this morning via HDMI to a 2008 Panasonic plasma (HDready) and I still can't make it trip: HDMI 8, 10, 12 bits, any pixel format except RGB 4:4:4 Limited range (because it's not detected by the TV) from AMD driver, madVR set to 8 or 10 bits, D3D9 or 11, FSE or not, all look the same...

I also tried an LG monitor, did have some trouble when switching between RGB and YCbCr in regard to the video range (crushed picture), but nothing that would resemble your case...sorry...let's wait for madshi, see what he sayz...

ok, thanks very much for your help, it might only happen with RX cards connected to a 4K HDR TV maybe, i have a liveable workaround if this doesnt get solved by MADSHI.

I seriously intend to connect it to my 4K TV (non HDR) these days (didn't have the time, the laptop is brand new) so watch this space
