Re: Spyder3 Display Calibration

2010-10-25 by edknightphoto

Thanks for the clarification.  What really confused me was the reference to a 16-bit card as 16/3 is not an integer.  No response necessary...

However, looking at the minimum requirements, I may need to upgrade my video card first, but I'm not certain of terminology.  Your Express & Pro versions require a 16-bit video card, while the Elite requires a 24-bit.  My current card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS, which I think may have 10-bits/channel, making it either a 10-bit card?  Must I upgrade the video card before using any of your Spyder3 display products?
