Glitching graphics while gaming

[pcdude974]

Hey everyone.

While gaming, my screen glitches. I have an R9 270X as a GPU, MSI 970A Gaming mobo, FX8320 CPU. it only does it while gaming, not while watching videos.

Here are some pictures. https://drive.google.com/open?id=19jYt7rCNik8gp-QbDCR7n5VwfjpWMfn9

Thanks in advance.

It's called artifacting. What are GPU temps under load?

Usually between 50-60 degrees celcius

I would update the drivers if you are using a particularly old GPU driver. If that doesn't fix it then the GPU is likely just getting old and is no longer completely stable at stock clocks. Underclocking the core and/or memory might get rid of the artifacting.

Will try that. Thank you.

Update: I did some research and found that artifacts can be from lack of power; so I unplugged my PC from my power bar and plugged it right into the outlet.

Artifacts are still there, but much less frequent and when they do happen, they don't last nearly as long.
