I recently bought a new PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 280X 3gb and I am experiencing problems when playing games where there is a 1 inch square about that has large black pixels that appear in spots randomly. I am still covered under a 30 day warranty on all of my parts so if I could find the problem, I would like to be able to replace or repair it if my graphics card is the problem.
here are my specs if it could help:
corsair cx750m power supply
amd a10-7700k kaveri desktop processor
gigabyte ga-f2a88x-up4 fm2+ motherboard
corsair vengeance pro 16gb
and running windows 10
update: it was the graphics card. I switched over to my on board graphics after taking out the graphics card and the problem stopped.

As much as the Gpu being at fault sometimes it can be the memory soldered onto the graphic card board.
That can also produce odd display artefacts in games ect.
But as said if it still has a 30 day warranty, then get it sent back quick under a RMA procedure.
