Whoever advised that using the High Speed HDMI cable would allow me to get 12bit not only @ 23Hz, but also at 60Hz was dead on right! I just got one of these cables and I can select 60Hz + 12bit in nVidia CP with no artifacts! I hope games will look better now!

BTW, is it a placebo effect that my games (Withcer 3) look better in 12bit mode than in 8bit mode? I know transitions are better, especially since I use a 1D LUT, but colors also seem richer! I tested my calibration done in 8bit with 12bit mode and there was no difference anywhere, and yet 12bit seems to produce richer colors...
