TDigital Vibrance for ATI cards?

I just recently bought a ATI X800 XT. I've traditionally gone the nvidea path in the past so this is my first ATI card. I have always LOVED the digital vibrance option with the drivers on nvidea but can't find anything similar to that with ATI.

Does anyone know if you there is something like that for the new ATI cards?

I was looking at a buddy of mine playing CS Source on his comp with an older nvidea card and even though he didn't have half the bells and whistles turned on that I did, the game looked a lot better because of digital vibrance!

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Other than modifying the color properties manually, I don't DV is possible with ATI cards. I wish it were, though. 🙁
 
I thought DVC was just for 2D?

I've never really used an ATi card, so I guess I wouldn't know what its like not to use it (I would try it right now without DVC on, but I get errors that I don't want to troubleshoot at the moment).

I don't believe ATi has an equivalent yet.

Also, where'd you get your card at?
 
Digital vibrance is what you are going to miss in the ATI world!

What you gain in return, which is missing in the NVIDIA world, is the ability to overclock the memory at different rates for 3D and 2D. With NVIDIA, the memory can have only one clock rate for both 2D and 3D.
 
DV, is that like people who run (or ruin) their TV running it in "vibrant" mode, which just cranks up the color saturation and brightness? Anything that mucks with colors and brightnes just makes things look different than the creator intended. This is why we have TV calibration DVDs, like Avia. They were shipping calibration software with video cards a while back, but it didn't take hold.

Man if you haven't experienced the difference you don't know what you are missing. I'm not sure what exactly it does but it is like night and day between how good games look.

I had a Ti4400 not too long ago, don't recall ever using it. I'll ask my friend to turn it on with his 6800GT tonight for WoW.
 
In experience having DV set to low or perhaps even Medium is best. Because if you have it set to high it does make things look retarded.
 
With DV set to low-medium and my diamondtron in superbright mode the colors in games are just amazing. Especially lush games like FarCry.
 
I think an ATI equivalent to digital vibrance is coming in the next series of drivers (cat 5.xx). I remember reading that at rage3d. Whether its true I'm not sure.
