I actually have 2 issues
The first issue is that in many games(Bf1, World of Warship, Some maps in for honor), I would have these flickering green squares on my screen. In those games, the squares are very bright and noticeable, but in other games they are nonexistent or very light. I recorded a video to show the glitches in Battlefield 1. https://youtu.be/tLmaZialy58?t=3m10s

My second issue is that the performance of Battlefield 1 is very poor, even on low settings, compared to max settings on Battlefield 4. My cpu and gpu are FX6300 and R9 290x. Some people told me that its because of a cpu bottleneck, but these performance issues do not happen in BF4 on much higher graphical settings. I overclocked my cpu to 4.3 ghz but its still running poorly. I am quite confused on why this is happening, considering that both games run on the same engine.
 
If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

I reinstalled my drivers but it doesn't fix the issue.
 


Did you do it the way I said or just downloading the latest drivers and reinstalling them?

There's a specific reason to do it my way.
