After upgrading to the new nVidia GTX780ti display colour quality has decreased.

Someone gave me a present (old 2013 stock, but totally new sealed in box) Zotac GTX780ti. 

But display colour quality has decreased when I switched to it.

I tried a lot of all the latest Vista drivers from all over the web, but no luck, the colour quality went down a lot, is there any way I can improve the colours again?

It looks like it went from 8 to just 6bit colours. The card performs very good, much better than the old Maxwell generation I had before.

I's start with trying to set the full RGB mode. Perhaps something had messed up this setting when you reinstalled the driver.

Thank you! And which driver you'd suggest? (OS Vista x64)

Do you have a monitor that has a higher dynamic range than sRGB? Maybe you need to re-install its color profile. There is also a video range setting in the control panel under Adjust video color settings that defaults to Limited, but it only affects YCbCr video playback. Do you see banding on gradients? 6-bit is usually appears perfectly smooth, and the dithering is only revealed in motion.

Thank you! The colours look like they simply don't have enough shades, whereas my old cars has rich colours, for example: blue is a simple plain blue. I'd make a screenshot, but all those screen capturing programmes won't show much difference. I'm fond of cosmetics and it's very important for me to see the lipstick shades. I put the old card back, all is fine again. No gradients at all, with the both cards.

Thank you all, the issue is no more, thanks to @Dixel and his driver 348.12!
