I just got Gigabyte rx470 and upon installation it worked fine. I downloaded the drivers and immediately the screen changed from normal to a discolored messed version of what it was previously showing (Picture attached) I have it working fine now but only because I disabled the drivers. I tried downloading the drivers again, deleting them and re-downloading, download older versions, and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Spec: Running Windows 10 home version 10.0.14393 Build 14393
Asus M5 A97 R2.0
Samsung 256gb pro SSD
AMD FX-6300 CPU
EVGA 600w Power supply
and the above mentioned RX 470 4gb made by Gigabyte

I Would atually recommend you to RMA the card... it looks faulty. And im pretty sure its not a driver problem...
But before actually taking it to RMA, i would suggest you to check your color options are in 32 bit in the driver control panel.

Thank you so much, in the setting I changed color depth from 10 to 8 and it worked!
