You can clearly see the advantage of greater-than-8-bit precision processing even on 8-bit devices. So if you want to use a .3dlut with avisynth be wary of this difference:

fair enough, but here's a real world banding test pattern going through LAV CUVID:
Banding 720p.rec709.mkv
no post-processing in ffdshow, simply bypassing as 16-235 YV12, and mVR taking care of TV>PC conversion and dithering on top(no LUT enabled in there):
and now SmoothL() plus an 8bit YUY2 LUT in ffdshow, outputting 0-255 RGB32 to mVR, only taking care of dithering:
on my semi-10bit CRT, the latter looks much smoother.
