Hi all, I've had this happen for quite a long time (well over a year) but I'm finally in a position where hopefully I can fix it if it's what I think it is.

I have an AMD RX480 8gb and 8gb of ram and an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor 3.40GHz running on 64 bit Windows 10 with a Corsair CX 750W PSU. In most games I get these wierd black squares flicker all over my screen and I have no clue why.

The games run fine, the clips below are from Cyberpunk 2077 which runs at about 40-60fps on High settings, 60+ on medium and low so the performance isn't effected at all and the games it happens on/doesn't happen on is just wierd.

If I play Overwatch/Battlefield 1 then it's fine, no graphical glitches whatsoever but if I try playing WoW/Fortnite/Cyberpunk they're EVERYWHERE, fortnite is by far the worst for it.

Is this my card artifacting? I can afford to buy another one but don't want to fork out if that's not the issue so does anyone have any advise or opinions?

Not much a gamer this will help others.

Have you tried turning off V-Sync in the game

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

Thanks for the reply, I play with V-Sync off in almost all games, whether it's on or not unfortunately doesn't solve the problem.

My Speccy report is here - http://speccy.piriform.com/results/NSjm48DMOQdh66PQwC1REQ3
 
Others may have more information.

AVG is a known resource hog and known to cause users issues, Windows own Defender and Firewall are better, do not hog resources and do not cause conflicts, is AVG the free version.

The C drive is getting kind of full and the same for some of you others. May want to clean out some of them.

yeah it's the free version, would the drives being almost full cause that kind of effect? I'm just at a loss why it only happens on some games and the less intensive ones at that.
