Artifacts with some games

Listen to him, also better sig. thx

Nope, I don't know of any software that can do that, since the chips don't have thermal sensors, unlike the GPU.

Yeah that's what I thought, however I installed a program called HWinfo64 and it gave me the temperatures of the VRAM do you think it could be real values? or maybe just expected values acording to the configuration of the GPU

I'm saying your CPU might be overheating.

Run OCCT and tell me what the temperatures of your CPU cores reach

I'll do a clean installation of windows tonight (just need to finish backing everything up) and will run OCCT with anything installed just windows and essential drivers to see the results, I'll post them later :thumbsup:

Are you sure it's not VRM temperatures? That's different than VRAM.

Call me blind but i don't see any artifacts at all.

edit: i am sorry for my carelessness. I didn't see your Watch Dogs screenshots.

It looks like GPU artifact(VRAM artifacts usually are vertical lines. But what is in your images looks like checkboard pattern corruption ). AMD tells what should you do:

Sorry for the late reply guys, I've been doing lots of changes with my rig, made a clean installation of windows and also played with the voltage settings of the graphics card, so now the thing is that, artifacts seem to be gone when I underclocked the card a lot, the settings I have now are:

Core Clock: 500 MHz
Memory Clock: 650 Mhz
Core voltage: 1V
Memory voltage 1.5V

Performance is not that good but at least games are playable, do you guys have any suggestions about what should I do to get a higher and stable clock speed??

What is your CPU temperature under load?

Ok my little pixel friends are back again no matter what frequency I use...

Thanks for the video! it was really informative I'll try replacing the system RAM with the sticks of my father's computer.

What is your CPU temperature under load?

The temp of the CPU is around 70/ 75 C when playing the witcher 3, also take a look at the screenshot I took when I left the game:

Oh, and also I forgot to mention that I was taking a close look to the fans of the graphics card and they're not spinning, the only way to make them spin is to turn them manually to 90% Fan speed, which I don't really understand why they're working like that.

Overheating VRAM would cause what you see in that pic, and if the fans are not spinning...

Well I guess this is definitely a defective GPU issue, I'll ask my friend if I can borrow is card for a few days just to test it, thanks for the help!
