Hello!

I'm getting some flickering with my RX 570. First noticed it in Witcher 3 (some random small black/gray squares flickering under certain angles, somewhat minimized the occurrences after adjusting hairworks), then in Europa Universalis 4 also had such small squares (literally 4) if zoomed out, and most recently in Diablo 2 Resurrected - here it's somewhat persistent flickering like on the screenshot, not in all locations.

On top of that, the Radeon menu tends to go wonky like this - distorted menus, changing with cursor moving.

Any suggestions are most welcome - it would suck if I had to buy a new GPU in this economy...

Specs:
i5-4460 3.2ghz
8gb ram 1600MHz DDR3 CL9
SSD Intel 520 SSD 120GB SATA3
RX 570
Mobo MSI Z97-G43
 
Solution
You should try using the baking method which is a method that you cook your gpu, now you may think im crazy but it has worked for multiple people including me and this method has been around for years. So how it works is very interesting. Often gpus fail because of high temperatures due to loosening solder joint, and to reconnect that solder joint youll need something that will make it hot to melt that solder for that solder joint to connect it again and an oven or a heat gun would be the solution to make it hot.
Now remember you should only use this as your last resort.
