[SOLVED] RX 580 Pixel Stretch Artifact Problem

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with multiple games (World War Z, Modern Warfare). As you can see from this video (not mine but this is what it looks like) there seems to be some pixel stretching happening. I tried underclocking but the problem still persist. I think it's not a problem of overheat though, since in Modern Warfare, the problem happens right after opening the game. In WWZ though, it will happen after a while, like an hour or two.

SPECS:
  • Gigabyte RX 580 8Gb MI
  • Ryzen 5 2400G
  • 2x4gb 2400mhz RAM
  • Corsair VS550
  • Win 10 1909 (Updated)
 
Solution
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result

is the monitor connected to the RX580 or the integrated graphics?

update the BIOS of the motherboard

Try the GPU in a different system, might be faulty
Have a look at the ingame graphics settings, disable all (mainly shadows) and have a look if it is getting better

use ddu uninstaller to remove all GPU drivers and reinstall the latest AMD.com driver

I already reinstalled the GPU drivers using DDU, but no luck. As for the in game settings, I turned all to low.
