Hello everyone,
My friend gave me a normal looking RX 460, except he told me that it was having artifacting problems once the AMD drivers installs. Also that the previous owner before him used the card to "mine cryptos". So first thing I do is give the card a good clean and changed the thermal paste. Installed it in my system, disables automatic driver updates and install the Radeon display adapter. Artifacts are gone but now the card still runs poorly (about 1 fps in heaven at low 640x480, 0.5 fps on furmark 640x360 with visual glitches http://prnt.sc/oobmvp). Also, in some programs such as GPU-Z or device manager, text and icons don't render correctly, instead showing as a black rectangle (http://prnt.sc/ooblpa), popping up when I hover the mouse over them. I'm not sure what to do next. Btw I manually downclocked the card to the lowest MSI afterburner allowed me. Downclock did not reduce graphical glitches.
System specs:
R7 1700
Biostar B350GT5
16 GB Ripjaws DDR4
PSU, SSD, HDD, Case & CPU cooler
All system components work perfectly fine when paired with my 1070. No artifacts, no glitches, no black rectangles.
Tried DDUing all drivers, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. Still does the same thing after installing Radeon software version 19.7.5. Haven't tried any older software, should I bother?
I tried reflashing the card BIOS according to this thread on TPU, but everytime I enter the atiflash -i command I get the error Adapter not found. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-ati-flashing-guide.212849/
I could try reflowing the solder joints on the PCB, but I don't have the proper equipment. Probably as last resort. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Update 1: turning ON Virtual Super Resolution in Radeon settings eliminates most of the black boxes, but GPU performance is still lacking. As in 1 fps in furmark. Also has a hard time rendering transparent windows such as the Radeon control panel without turning it into a chess board.
