Radeon RX 560X flicker in games (ACER NITRO 5)

I purchased Acer Nitro 5 (Nitro AN515-42; Part Number: NH.Q3RSI.006 which has RX 560X graphics card)  2 months ago and since today morning i get flickering pixels when i start game (i have only fortnite installed). This started after i upgraded to 1903. In normal mode all applications work fine but as soon as i start a game, notice random flickering pixels in multi-colors, some big and bright whereas others are small. Connected to TV and see the same flickering pixels there as well. Along with the flickering pixels, there is occasional white boxes that appear randomly, and visible ghosting effect of trees.

I have tried following

1. Install latest Windows 1903, with latest drivers  adrenalin-2019-edition-19.5.2-may22

2. Install Windows 1809 with keep nothing option and installed latest drivers

3. Clean install Windows 1809 with driver from ACER website (VGA_AMD_17.40.6001.3304_W10x64)

Any recommendations /fixes ?

on Laptops with AMD APU and AMD GPU it is best to download the LATEST driver for your APU and NOT FOR YOUR GPU! (it can be the same - but doesnt have to be)

pls download the APU graphics driver and check again

PC: R7 2700X @PBO + RX 580 4G (1500MHz/2000MHz CL16) + 32G DDR4-3200CL14 + 144hz 1ms FS P + 75hz 1ms FS
Laptop: R5 2500U @30W + RX 560X (1400MHz/1500MHz) + 16G DDR4-2400CL16 + 120Hz 3ms FS
