Texture flickering on radeon 7800XT pure gaming

Hello everyone


I put together an AMD setup recently and I am stuggling with some texture flickering. Playing games (Battlefield 2042, RAILGRADE, Hogwarts Legacy…) does always run smoothly with no lags or FPS drops.
On most of these games however, I noticed some texture tearing / black flickering. I noticed it happening on most of the games I have installed so far such as RAILGRADE, Hogwarts Legacy and Battlefield 2042.

Hardware:

  • 16GB Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT Pure Gaming Aktiv
  • AMD ryzen 9 7900x
  • MSI MPG B650I Edge WiFi Motherboard, Mini-ITX
  • LIAN LI SP850 GOLD SFX PSU
  • 1xSSD
  • 1xHDD
  • 2x 16GB RAM G.SKILL Flare X5 EXPO DDR5- 6000
  • LG Monitor 3440x1440 @ 144Hz

Things I tried:

- I initially thought that this is directly linked to the GPU not getting enough power as I was running it on a single daisy chained cable to the PSU, I then changed the setup to a 2 separate 8pin cables, but the issue is still there.

- I then tried to clean install windows 10, and reinstall AMD drivers, but that kept the issues in game.

- I tried an older version of Adrenalin, did not fix the issue

Has anyone faced something similar with AMD before or has an idea of what could be causing it? I am leaning towards this being a software problem in hope that I don't have to return the GPU...

3 possible solutions :
- RMA caused by VRAM
- Reseating GPU with cleaning PCIE slot
- Disabling all software overlays, using fullscreen in game settings.

This professional tech repairer diagnosed an issue very similar to this as a 'dead core' when attempting to repair a 6900XT. He notes he previously had another dead core GPU that only had issues when watching YouTube. Some comments recommend slightly undervolting the card might be a workaround. Some others also suggest, like above, that it's a VRAM issue.

Hopefully a software fix can deal with it, or just cleaning out the PCIE slot and connector like mentioned above.
