Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here, and i want your guys help. I have this issue with some of my games (Shadow of Mordor, Lords of the Fallen and SW:Battlefront) in which in the game there are these Blue or white dots/glitches appearing in background objects, dark areas, rain particles and so on, but what is interesting to me that for instance The Witcher 3 works perfectly and is a more graphically advanced game than the other 3. I have a Sapphire Radeon R9 290x Tri-X that was bought just recently so i doubt it is a problem with the graphics card itself, i do suspect the monitor a bit since its and old model (Acer v233h bd 2009) but i still cant understand why a more graphically tasking video game as the witcher works better than a less graphically advanced game. I am not that knowledgeable about stuff like this but i know a fair bit. So if anyone has an answer to this i would appreciate if you share it. Thank you.

Here are some pictures of said issue and my benchmark results

If you take screenshots and the artifacts show up in them, it is the graphics card not the monitor. Did you try the simplest things first, like resetting the graphics in the crimson control panel to default? restoring game settings to default?

Yes i have tried both of those options, and the problem is still there, i have tried all different settings of the game (lowest,Medium,Highest and Ultra) and it still has the issue.

Alright so what I would try is DDU to get rid of everything driver related. Then grab the current WHQL drivers and try it again.

This is the official link to DDU: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=228

Here is the link to the latest AMD drivers for Windows 10 x64: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64

If that does not fix the issue, I would consider RMA'ing the card if possible. You may have to send it directly to Sapphire at this point though. I recently seen another post about this issue but I cannot find it nor can I find any real info about this type of artifacting other than it may be from having the memory OC'ed too high.

1st of all i want to thank you for all your help during these troubling times, but i am sad to inform you that it didnt, work... as for having the memory overclocked too high, the Sapphire R9 290x Tri-X is already factory overclocked so i doubt that would be a problem, but hey i dont know maybe they OC'ed it too much ? but that would be very unlikely since they probably know how much is too much. Could it be a problem with the connection ? I have it connected via DVI because as ive said the monitor is quite old so it only has DVI and VGA inputs. The cable is quite old as well. I dont know if that's the case, i really do not know much about this stuff.

But there is something else, you see, i didnt buy the graphics card directly from a store but a used one, it wasn't even used even a year but it does seem a bit fishy to me since i got it for 290eur which is preety cheap for a graphics card like this. It does have 1 year of warranty left so i might as well send it back to see if they can repair it. The card doesnt have anything visibly wrong with it but i really have no idea.

Again thank you for your help, if you have any more suggestions please reply because i'm preety much desperate already.
