i am running an Nvidia gtx 1080 GPU and Intel i5 5600 cpu. tried latest divers and rollbacks to no avail.
when i connect my primary (tv) to my gpu (hdmi/DP/vga ports) it works like a charm. same with second (tv). however if i connect both to my GPU the second monitor's colors get stupid. i don't know the phrase for this mix up but you will see in the picture (if you cant suggest a fix informing me of the name of this color mix would be appreciated- at least ill know what to search) currently i'm using the big screen on the GPU while the 2nd screen is using the processor.
what i want is to be able to hook both screens up using the GPU only.
fixes i tried over the week:
restart
rollback drivers
uninstall drivers
change dual screen settings from bios
reset bios

Right click on desktop select Display adapter properties and select your monitor/TV, and select correct resolution on List all modes if your monitor is 1366x768 select it (The secondary) soo select show 2 as your secondary or primary to show only the one you have problem then select it. (If you select and it doesn't work it will revert after 15 seconds soo you don't have to worry about it.)
Have you ruled out cable problem?

what you recomended solved it but it was not a fix, rather a workaround. i did want to keep native resolution. i fixed it however by changing color depth from 12 to 8.
thanks for help, do you know what this issue is called?
