I recently got a computer HP 6200, I decided to place a Dedicated Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6450. And now, my games are glitching. This has never happened before at my Integrated Graphics Card. Any suggestions? https://ibb.co/9yLYx7Z

My specs
i3-2100
AMD Radeon HD 6450
RAM: 8GB

Seems like your gpu has artifacts, im not surprise because its a 10 year old gpu. The only way to fix it is by using the baking method. This method has work for me multiple times. I used to have an artifacts gtx 780 and i used this method to fix my gpu, now there are no artifacts any more.
The science behind this is simple: often, video cards fail due to loosening solder joints. Thus, an oven is the perfect savior: by heating those joints back up, they’ll turn to liquid and melt back together, giving your card another shot at life.
Heres some website that will help you how to do it:

So I did it. But it's still the same, the game still won't load properly. I asked my friend and he told me something about render glitch. Since I tried playing valorant and my gpu memory usage won't exceed at 790

Wait, you actually baked your gpu without first confirming if it is in fact a hardware issue and not a software issue?

have you tried doing a clean install of the drivers first?

Are you overclocked? Turn down the oc. If not, then that card is dead.

its a bit of a long shot, but are you experiencing general system instability? Your psu may be on it’s way out if that’s the case.

I’d also just like to add. Baking your gpu will in some cases just be a temporary solution. It could be true that the solder joints have cracked and you just need to reflow it.
but, it could also be the case that one or more of the caps are going bad. Heat will allow them to operate temporarily. (Think those old playstation 3’s which had the yellow light of death).

but! It could also be that your problem isn’t with the gpu at all. I suggest that you go through the basics first in the future before baking it. It would be such a waste to (potentially) damage your hardware by doing something drastic only to find out in the future that something simpler was the cause of your issue.
