Hi

Could you take a screenshot/picture of the issue for us?

It could just be screen tearing, in which case enabling V-sync will resolve the issue. However it could also be artefacting which is much more serious and could mean your graphics card is over-heating or unstable.

Try monitoring the graphics cards temps with GPU-Z (freeware) whilst gaming to make sure your graphics card isn't getting too hot.

This may be a long shot! But I came across this last week, it worked for a lot of other people who were having the same issue as you.

This occurs because there are microfractures in the conductors between your GPU chip and other parts of the circuit board that occur over time as the card is constantly heated and cooled (wear and tear). When put into the oven these microfractures are sealed.

I must mention this is a last resort, but very interesting nonetheless.
