R9 290 and artifacts/glitches? on a lot of games.

[Marzum]

I have been having screen artifacts or some kind of glitching.
First of, I don't really know how to describe what I'm seeing so I used OBS to record a sample.

It has been happening in most games, though perhaps not as extreme as in the Rainbow Six Sierge sample, though I've been seeing the same kind of glitching in games like Fallout 4, Overwatch and the Battleborn Beta and the Unigine Valley benchmark:

Temperature reads on the GPU seem to be normal +- 55?

System:
Fractal Design S
MSI Z170A Gaming m5
Intel 6700k i7
Radeon R9 290 Saphire tri-x
16 GB ram Kingston Fury Hyper-x 2666
Samsung 850 evo 250GB
Corsair RM750x

Is this being caused by a hardware issue I could fix or is the card bust?

Have you overclocked it? How old is it?

Everything is running stock. I think I bought it around November 2014. The glitching only seems to happen with more recent games older titles don't seem to have this issue quite as often.

Try this,
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.

Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.

Problem still presists after reinstalling the drivers.

Anyone else who can help me or am I better of calling it quits and buying a new card?

Which PSU do you have?

Try that graphics card in another PC. If it still occurs, then its the graphics card. Replace it.

I had trouble when I ran dual 290x in some games, not sure which solved it but here's what I did:
1) installed and uninstalled drivers, OS, etc (weeks of agony to no avail)
2) new monitor - old one could not keep up with the FPS the cards put out
3) high grade display port cable running 1.2
4) changed resolutions and settings in games to keep FPS up or down to around 60
