Inverted/ two tone colors only in games.

[PyroPanda]

I can't seem to figure this out. I have never had such a thing happen in all my years. But today I decided I wanted to play some fallout 4; as the game loaded I noticed my color was all two tone/inverted. BUT when I took a screenshot, my color looked fine. so I know it's something to do with my GPU and games, seeing how it only changes while playing a game and not the desktop.

Has anyone had this happen? Everything was just fine the other day and now poof this lol

Try stripping out the gpu drivers DDU guru3d.com and reinstall.

Could be physical, try a different dvi port or hdmi port cable.

I had a bad dvi port that did similar in SE V2 where the game looked like a negative but the screen shot was perfect when I posted it to a trouble shooting forum and 2d was fine too, so I switched to the other port and it worked fine.

Thanks, I will try this when I have a chance today.

I've seen this before: a loose monitor cable can cause this, I've also seen it it SLI systems. In those cases I fixed it by swapping the card order or the SLI bridge.

The screen shot should show the exact same thing you see, if the screen shot looks normal, then it doesn't sound like it's software related, but hardware.

It's most likely a cable connection or even a failing video port (the latter usually isn't the issue) - then again, the issue could simply be the monitor. So do the basic troubleshooting:

Reseat cables on the monitor and GPU.
Test the video cable on another monitor.
Test the monitor on another computer.
Try a different cable type (if you're using DVI to DVI and your monitor & GPU both support HDMI, try a HDMI cable).

Nvm problem solved. Some how after updating my GPU it turned on 3D settings by itself.
