So Monday I my graphics card started to act up like when im playing csgo i notice as i move around i start seeing green, blue, red, kind of specks around areas, i tried other games it did the same thing. bf4, gta5 and sometimes when i watch videos. 290x trix, 16gb ram, 8350, win 10, catalyst beta 15.8 i had win 10 and the new driver before and it didn't do anything like this i'll have a video link to show.

Might be graphics artifacts from the clock speeds or temperatures of the card getting too high. If you OC your card, try tuning it down, or if it gets too hot, add more fans or see if taking the side panel off the case changes anything. You gotta diagnose the problem before you can find the solution. Newer drivers might also cause cards to behave strangely, so you can also try reverting to an older more stable driver.
