No, why would you want to do that? Then profile TRC and monitor behavior won’t match (unless without GPU calibration grey is “perfect”)
What I mean is use the Reset VCGT setting in the displaycal loader.
I ask because using xnview, if i enable icc in the software , it messes up the picture unless I disable vcgt in the displaycal loader.
What is a profile? A description about a device behavior.
If you made a ICM profile that contains calibration it is stored in ICM profile. Device (display) description was measured AFTER VCGT values fro calibration were computed and applied to screen. So ICM profile contains the behavipr of your screen AFTER calibration.
That means that if you wish to use color management based in ICM profiles with that screen (not LUT3Ds like madVR) you MUST ensure that calibration (VCGT) is loaded intro graphic card. Otherwise display and profile won’t match.
