Hi guys, this is a problem I've never seen before so I need a bit of help trying to figure out what is going on.

Until yesterday I was using El Capitan build and everything was working fine. Today I've updated to Sierra.
Update went smoothly, but of course the NVIDIA drivers were outdated so I proceeded to update them, restarted and everything was back to normal.

But then I noticed something strange. While working on Chrome there are some sites that show me this weird color difference:

Safari:

As you can see in the images, it basically renders a different shade of the color randomly.

I went to chrome://gpu/
and got this output:

Guys please help me troubleshoot this

Unfortunately I can't give an answer, but I can say I have a similar problem.

See the image below:

This is a solid block of colour. On the left Safari, and on the right Chrome running on MacOS Sierra with Hardware accel enabled.
When I turn hardware acc. off, the issue goes away.

I'm running a Gigabyte GTX 750Ti.
