I recently bought a brand new Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT, as well as a complete kit of other components, to my new computer. Unfortunately, I have been having issues with dots appearing all over the screen, both in games as well as when regular images are rendered. As an example of it appearing in images, it is especially noticable after the blurring effect of the background image in the login screen to Windows 10.

Note that it appears in screenshots, both Windows screenshots and ingame screenshots, for example taken from World of Warcraft, so it is probably not a problem with the monitor.

Here is a link showing the issue in World of Warcraft: View: https://imgur.com/a/GVsITwW


Do you know what could be causing this, or how I can start troubleshooting the problem to find it out? Is it likely to be an issue with the GPU, or could it also be some other component?
