Windows 10: Nvidia control panel no longer controlling the handoff between integrated graphics and the...

Hardware: 2021 Razer Blade Advanced, RZ09-0409CED3; Nvidia RTX 3080Firmware/BIOS: 2.02 released 05/2022Windows Version: Win10 Home 21H2; OS Build 19044.2728Issue:The Nvidia Control panel used to automatically decide the GPU to use for various applications. Now it says Windows handles this. Since then, windows has run more slowly, I get frequent BSOD crashes WATCHDOG errors, and applications are laggy. I do not want Windows to be managing GPU selection and want to go back to how it used to be.

Nvidia Control Panel and Gamma Control

Most setups have 3 ways of changing the Gamma.
1. The Monitor controls.
2. Windows colour management.
3. Integrated graphics or Nvidia Control Panels.
There is just as much adjustment in an Intel integrated graphics as an Nvidia Card.

It is actually confusing to have 3 places for adjustments. Each can override the other, thus a messy result is easy to achieve.

 

Nvidia Control Panel and Gamma Control

Hello:

I'm considering purchasing a new pc. An important consideration in my choice is my control over fine tuning of display parameters:

Brightness /Conrast /Gamma/ Color Saturation

So I'm looking for PC with dedicated (rather than integrated) graphics card, which might give me the most control

Which graphics cards have the Gamma setting as part of their Graphics Control?

I do recall an Nvidia Control Panel which did have a calibrated gamma slider. Question is : Do all Nvidia Control Panels have that gamma setting nowadays? I believe Intel had removed that gamma setting from their control panel..So maybe Nvidia is doing that as well.

The Inspiron Desktop 5680 I'm currently interested in does have that dedicated Nvidia control panel installed, but customer rep couldn't tell me if it had gamma setting or not...It is a rather costly desktop-probably on account of the Nvidia. So I'm wondering if less expensive pc's with different dedicated graphics cards might have that kind of control.

I'm not a gamer, but I'm unusually sensitive to visual display. So gaming isnt a consideration. But display control is !

Thanks much in advance

Windows 10 version 1903 Nvidia Control Panel issues.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that nvidia Control Panel is not accepting desktop color settings correctly, In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some
information.

1. What is the Make and the Model of the computer?
   
2. May I know the Model of the nvidia Graphic card?
   

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

Method 1: Change the output dynamic range to full.

1. Open nvidia control panel.
   
2. Click on Display.
   
3. Select Change resolution.
   
4. Output dynamic range
   
5. Set this value to Full.
   

Method 2: Update nvidia Graphic driver.

Suggest you to update the nvidia Graphic driver from the

nvidia website and check if it fixes the issue.

Thanks,
