Hey everyone. I hope you can help me with this issue I've been having with my new gpu (just got it yesterday.)
After installing the new XFX RX 480 I noticed a screen "tearing" or a lag every few (approx 7 seconds) to my frame rate when playing war hammer total war. It was most noticeable for me on the battle map with all the soldiers marching, and what I would assume the GPU was under load. I noticed as well the sound becomes distorted. This has also happened in other games including overwatch
I was worried this may have been a symptom of conflicting drivers, so I ran display driver uninstaller, and reinstalled my drivers in safe mode. The problem didn't change. I also bought a new psu as I was worried my approx 6 year old 650w had been dying, but there was no change. It doesn't seem like temps are out of the ordinary, and overall things seem ok in that regard. Getting no errors or blue screens or anything. This is the only problem. I should note this problem has only occurred in games like warhammer and overwatch, and has not happened when I'm watching videos or just browsing the intrawebs.
Any ideas for any fixes?. I really hope the gpu I just got is not defective. I'll be happy to provide any additional info. I can also record the tearing if need be. Thank you!
