Help. Colors displaying wrong after upgrade.

I upgraded from my AMD R9 390 to nvidia 1080.

After the upgrade I noticed that some colors (especially RED) are displayed incorrectly.
I've fiddled with the windows color profiles and nvidia control panels color settings but I'm unable to get the reds to display properly. No matter what I choose or change under the "Change resolution" color settings, or under the "Adjust desktop color settings" it does not fix this problem. They do change the overall color settings and brightness etc. But they will not make the reds look as they should.

 

I've tried multiple different drivers, older, latest and beta. No change. I did full clean installs with the help of DDU.  I'm connected with hdmi to my 24" monitor running at 1080p60.

 

I managed to get the hardware accelerated stuff on Chrome to display properly by changing windows color profiles, but this seem not to effect games etc.


Please note that I can get the correct red colors to display on 2D desktop setting, but as soon as I launch a game or other hw accelerated content the reds will display incorrectly. So I doubt this has anything to do with the "color problems with hdmi" related limited color range people seem to have problems with. I've also tried different hdmi cables with no success.

Please help.

I've attached a picture to demonstrate the problem.

What about BIOS? Is that the wrong coulor?

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

I hate to suggest it but maybe a clean install?

Try rolling back to your previous windows install

More info: When I plug my monitor into my intel hd 4600 igpu the colors are displayed correctly. Didn't touch any settings, just swapped the cable from the 1080 into the mobo's hdmi. So this should narrow the problem down to either the nvidia drivers, hardware fault or something funky how windows handles the colors for this card(?)
