Let's be clear:
We keep making these two phrases "my gamma is" versus "my gamma correction is" - these are two different things.
Your monitor gamma is 2.2. You NVidia gamma correction is 1.0. That means you need/want a 2.2 correction in the render.
If you were to change your NVidia driver gamma correction to 2.2, nothing the rest of the world publishes would look right to you. Just leave it alone. Gamma correction in the driver is only to bring your monitor gamma back to 2.2, not to make the monitor gamma 1.0. You do NOT want your monitor gamma at 1.0, you want it at 2.2. If it looks like 2.2, then you should leave hardware gamma correction turned off - i.e. leave the NVidia setting at 1.0.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
