You still do not need a >8-bit output for displaying HDR content without banding if you have high quality dithering. 8-bit output is a little nosier but that noise is very subtle. Keep 10-bit output from madVR and 12-bit from the GPU but don't expect it to make a significant difference.

Can you tell the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit from madVR with ordered dithering enabled (with the GPU and projector settings the same)?
