This looks like texture glitches, check your VRAM usage and reboot your PC if you haven't done it yet

Is your VRAM maxed when you're playing ? If that's the case you should lower your textures settings

no it isnt maxed because the game displays a warning message saying that it requires more than 4 gigs of vram
im going to lower the settings and check now

I don't know if these have a particular name but it looks like textures that are not being rendered
