    ok weird one so this is new. Artifacts in games, and only since updating Radeon Crimson Edition Graphics Driver 17.3.2 Hotfix from AMD.

    gpu artifacts

    Ive already rebooted three times 😂 They dont show up on the BIOS screen as far as i can tell, only once Windows loads. Is that a meaningful clue? Im happy to run tests, i just need to know which ones make sense. i have not overclocked anything on purpose, but i did install a tuinng tool a while back. i want to rule out teh cheap explanations before i start pricing replacement cards. what am i doing wrong??

    ok so do a proper clean install of the previous dirver: download it from teh AMD support page, boot into Safe Mode, run DDU, reboot, then install. A plain rollback in Device Manager sometimes leaves the problematic profiles in place. hope that helps :)

    oof your BIOS observation is a good clue. If artifacts appear only after Windows loads the driver, but not in BIOS or in Safe Mode (which uses the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter), that leans towards driver/software. If they show up in BIOS too, think hardware.

    ok so reset any overclock or undervlot, especially memory clock... artifacts that look like small colored blokcs are often VRAM instabliity, and a driver update can change memory behavior enough to tip a marginal OC over. worked for me anyway 🤷
