You may have a faulty card. Download Furmark, TimeSpy and Heaven benchmarks and run them at max resolution and settings to stress your GPU. See if it still artifacts. If it misbehaves, RMA it ASAP.
I ran furmark since it was free. Absolutely no issues. I ran it for 20 minutes. I'll do some more digging today. I am a Best Buy total member so I'll take it to them eventually if I can't figure it out.You may have a faulty card.

I bought it from Amazon. I am a “total” member with Best Buy which gives me free tech support/diagnosis at their geek squad facilities. They will work on pretty much anything for me whether I bought it from them or not. It only costs me money for the price of any new parts.Doesn’t Best Buy have a return/exchange policy for this? I’m sure you’re still within the return window. You use RMA once you’re outside the return window of the vendor you bought it from.
In fact Best Buy should’ve given you a new card right then and there. No wonder this stores are struggling, their customer service is terrible.
I can. I will be taking it to UPS today. I can't find this GPU online anywhere to replace itThen return it through Amazon if you can first.
I found it at micro center. It's too far for me but my friend is picking it up and getting it to me at work tomorrow. Micro center is actually cheaper than Amazon this time too.My 6800XT was DOA and had to RMA it through Newegg. They were easy to work with and had a fast turn around.
They didn't have my exact GPU on hand either. After speaking with them, they gave me a $20 gift card to cover the difference of another brand's card and shipped it that day.
Microcenter tends to have good prices on the big ticket items, because they get a lot of people to buy their entire build there, and their prices on RAM, SSDs, cases, and all the other little odds and ends aren't the cheapest so they make up for the cheap GPUs and MB combos with the other stuff.I found it at micro center.

Good thing you found it.I found it at micro center. It's too far for me but my friend is picking it up and getting it to me at work tomorrow. Micro center is actually cheaper than Amazon this time too.
