Digital vibrance on AMD and Intel GPUs

Updated · PixelForge team

Digital vibrance is an NVIDIA setting, but AMD and Intel cards can get the same effect. Here is where the setting is on each, and how to make it switch per game instead of staying on your desktop.

What digital vibrance actually does

Digital vibrance boosts colors that are already colored and leaves greys mostly alone. That is why it helps in games: players, items and outlines stand out while concrete and sky do not change much.

Intel graphics and Arc

NVIDIA, for comparison

NVIDIA Control Panel, Display, Adjust desktop color settings, Digital vibrance. Default is 50%.

The problem: it is always on

All three driver settings change your whole desktop. Browsing and video look oversaturated, and you have to open the driver panel every time you want to change it. There is also no way to have one value for Rust and another for CS2.

PixelForge filters page with saturation, vibrance and per-game profiles
PixelForge: saturation and vibrance per game, on any GPU.

PixelForge adds a saturation filter that works on AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, turns on only when your game is open, and keeps a separate profile per game. On NVIDIA cards it can also drive the real digital vibrance setting. A Normal colors button puts your PC back to its original colors in one click.

Questions

Does AMD have digital vibrance?

Not by that name. AMD Adrenalin has a Saturation slider under Display, Custom Color, which does the same job. The default is 100.

Can I use digital vibrance on Intel graphics?

Intel Graphics Command Center and Arc Control have a Saturation slider under Display, Color. A screen filter app also works on Intel GPUs.

Can I set vibrance only for games?

Driver settings apply to the whole desktop. To change it only while a game is open you need an app that switches profiles per game, such as PixelForge.

Is it safe?

PixelForge does not inject into games, touch game files or read game memory. It only changes how your screen looks and draws overlays. No tool can promise what every anti-cheat or server admin will accept, and some Rust servers ban external zoom tools, so check the rules and leave those features off if you are not sure.
