Artifacts while gaming - RX 480

[endi1887]

Hey all,

maybe someone can help me here.
I think my graphics card might be broken but I am not sure (I know it's fairly old).

So while I game I get artefacts but not while "normal" usage.

I use my computer rarely and even rarer for gaming since most of my friends are on console.

Most of the time I get white dots or stripes which are annoying but except for that everything works.

When I take a screenshot these artifacts aren't visible but I have a recording in from Phasmophobia (taken with AMD software) where one can see my problem.

 

I think when BF 1 was realesed I had this issue the first time but I didn't bother much since I mainly played on console.
Now I played some Phasmophobia and it started bothering me because the experience of the game is kind of disturbed.

And my girlfriend likes to play Sims 4 every once in a while.

 

Would be great if someone could help me or tell me if this graphics card is broken.

 

I already tried different cables and monitors.

 

Thanks in advance and I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes. Native language is not english.

 

Specs:
Win 11 - 64bit
Mainboard: Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming
16GB Ram

Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC - 8GB

PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630W

 

 

edit:

no parts are overclocked

Given that it shows up in recordings, it is obviously either a software or a GPU issue. That rules out cables and monitor issues. 

 

I would try reinstalling your GPU drivers. You're right that card is slightly old, but it shouldn't have that kind of issue just for being old.

I just tried reinstalling drivers.

I used ddu for uninstalling drivers and just reinstalled the drivers from amd homepage.

Still the same problem.

I guess this card is broken.

 

But thanks for your help.
