I've not had any problems with my XFX RX 480 for a while now. It's been excellent until now. Artifacting is very apparent to the YouTube page, but it seems restricted to there. No problems with the card until I upgraded the drivers using AMD software and artifacting was everywhere. Rolling back the drivers solved this. I had been playing Kerbal Space Program and played for about an hour without issue, but then it crashed with the standard "KSP.exe has stopped working." No bluescreens or crashes relating to the GPU or its drivers have happened. Help?
System specs:
A6 6400k APU (yes, i know its a bottleneck, upgrading soon)
RX 480 XFX (nothing special)
8gb system memory

Update: Am I being stupid here? Could this be the HDMI cable I'm using, as I've seen similar problems relating to the cable? Because there are very little signs pointing to a bad GPU except the artifacting here. Can someone provide me with a for-sure answer here?
Update 2: Sorry, should have mentioned: OS is Windows 10 64 bit.
