Does the GTX 1060 supports 10-bit output in Photoshop?

Hi!

I finished my new PC, with i7 6700K and 30bit monitor. The only thing I have to buy is the video card.

My question is: do the new gtx 1060 videocards support 10bit output in photoshop?

I know that PS doesn't make intensive use of GPU, so I don't want to spend much money for Quadro series.

On nvidia site, they acclaim that all new GTX 10x0 cards support 10 bit mode.

Anybody has tried it?

Curious as well...all the new 10xx cards supposedly support 10-bit. Have a prosumer monitor that supports dithered 10-bit (asus ips monitor PB279Q)...

i think the gtx 1000 series still limit 10bit to directx, so it may not work for 10bit photoshop or adobe software with opencl. maybe someone that has the hardware to confirm/test will also comment.

That question probably should be asked in the Photoshop forum.  How would one test to see if it really works?

the photoshop forum probably would have more folks that could answer. how to test: with the hardware (gpu+ true 10bit monitor), one way would be a basic grayscale gradient. 8 bit would create banding, 10 bit would show none.
