[SOLVED] Weird pixelation in every game I play

I can't really remember what it's called, but those pixels happens a lot whenever I open a game. Some possibly helpful information:

• This started happening a few hours ago when I tried out Assetto Corsa.

• I've tried updating the drivers to the newest ones.

• System is as follows:

  • CPU: i5-4690k OC'd to 4.3GHz (I tried downclocking it to stock speed, but it didn't help anything)

  • GPU: MSI R9 390

  • Mobo: Asus Z97-Pro Gamer

  • RAM: 8GB (2x4) Crucial BallistiX Sport

  • PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750

  • SSD: Samsung 850 Evo

  • I also have two HDD's in there, but they are in no way connected to my game library, so I don't suppose that's it?

If there are any questions I haven't answered here, please feel free to ask!

 

So I went to underclock my VRAM, and noticed that power limit was set to +50% (Weird because I always reset my OC after I OC), so I tried pressing reset in MSI Afterburner. Now it works  Thanks for the help guys

Is it just when you play rocket league or does it happen to other games as well?

EDIT: Also did you OC your GPU?

No matter what game it is. I've even tried opening another game in UPlay instead of steam, but it still happens.

No OC on GPU

Artifacts. They usually show up when something is wrong with your VRAM or when it is not stable on the clocks it is set to run on. Try to underclock your VRAM a bit and see if it helped. If yes it is definitely VRAM issue and if you are on stock clocks then you should RMA your GPU if you can.

Alright I would start small on this. try a different monitor cable and see where that goes if the same your gpu's Vram is going bad

when my old r9 270x was dying I never got the black dots rather driver crashes and the infamous screen res. resizing.  And on that Bomb shell! yeah lol. it is best to put in a RMA or get another GPU up to you.
