hey thats me! Artificating is quite a concussion to jump to. If you see squares like that in games or benchmarking it is probably artifacating, but sometimes if windows is sorta slow it will do that.

But it's only when I tab out of the games (CSGO)... 

 

Could it possibly be my monitor? Because the second I update the Pixels it fixes it's self...

Man if that is artifacting, that is some bad artifacting. I would update/reinstall drivers to the GPU. If you have any overclock on the GPU turn it down a lot. And if everything else fails, try to get new cables.

I've had a friends cable to his monitor do that... Bad cables can do weird things.
