Just built a new pc and I have some really nasty problems with my GPU on Windows 10:
The color banding and washed out, impossibly contrasting and saturated video and game rendering drives me crazy and I can't seem to find any fixes. The interesting thing is that it seems to happen only when I render videos or play video games. Also, the videos resolution (i.e. youtube) seem to be of lower quality, even though selected quality is 1080p. Here are some images so you can see what I'm talking about (sorry for bad quality phone pictures, it was the only way I could illustrate what I meant):
The following is a screen capture from this video

As you can see, the SS is alright, no problem here. But here is how the video actually looks when played on Youtube (photo taken by phone):

Zoomed in on the previous image to see the color banding and strange hues:

There clearly are some out of place colors in the actual video when played.
This one is a photo of the first screenshot. Not too much of a difference here; I wanted to show the zoomed in version for the sake of comparison.

And here are three screenshots I took from Dark Souls Remastered. You can see the colors are washed out and there are blueish, greenish and purple-ish hues in most dark and shadowy areas.

One thing I need to mention is that I swapped GPUs with a friend, and his configuration renders video and games alright with my RX 5500 XT on his motherboard, so the GPU is not faulty. Here is my configuration, maybe it helps:
Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core
GPU: AMD Radeon Sapphire Pulse RX 5500 XT 8GB, GDDR6, 128 bit (placed in PCIe 4.0 x16 slot)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3600 MHz, CL 20, Dual Channel (placed like this: [] [|] [] [|] )
PSU: Corsair CX Series™ CX550F RGB, 80 PLUS® Bronze, 550W
SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe
Radeon Software utility helped me with the drivers; I also use it to configure color in games, nothing else. I'm updated, as can be seen here (though I haven't activated Windows; could that be a problem?): New Bitmap Image (6).bmp
Here is a screenshot with the display settings in Radeon Software:

I also use Ubuntu for work and I don't have such problems there. Video rendering seems to be fine.
Sorry for the long post, it's quite a bummer for me since I've waited so much to build this PC; I really want to find solutions.
