Square artifacts with vsync off

[muda]

Hi everyone, i have one problem. Apex Legends Season 1 and 2 worked fine, skipped Season 3, and i try to play Season 4. My problem is, when i turn off Vsync, my game starts showing some square artifacts and in couple of seconds my PC gets frozen and i need to restart it...
I try different drivers, settings, even reinstalling my OS didn't fix this problem. And this is a problem with every single game i try to play...

My PC specs:

CPU: Intel G4560

GPU: ROG STRIX GTX 1060 OC 6GB

PSU: 500W

MB: MSI B250M PRO-VDH
RAM: Kingston HyperX Furry 8GB DDR4
OS: Windows 10 64bit

Try slightly underclocking the card with something like MSI Afterburner.

It works, i underclocked it for only 47MHz... Is this means that my GPU is much stronger than my CPU and i need to buy new CPU?
Can you tell me why did i had this problem?

And thank you soooo much!

Your Pentium most likely is bottlenecking your 1060 quite badly, but the artifacting and crashing/freezing you've noticed is caused by the GPU not being stable (I was also thinking it could be a driver issue but since you mentioned that you've tried other driver revisions and even reinstalled Windows then I came to the conclusion that that wasn't the problem). 

If you were just running the factory OC, then it's pretty odd (but not impossible) for it to suddenly become unstable, especially considering that it's not that old of a card.

Is there any way i can benchmark it and be 100% sure? Because i have warranty on this GPU, and i need to be 100% sure. Anyways, thank you again, you helped me sooo much! You are a good guy!

There's quite a few good benchmarks out there, like 3DMark or Unigine Superposition, just to name a couple.

If you just want to do stress testing, then you could use Furmark or MSI Kombustor.

If it does turn out that the factory OC is unstable, I think it would be a very legitimate reason to ask for an RMA.
