As shown in this photo, I've noticed these black squares very rarely popping up in some games, first noticed it on GTAV: Enhanced on some of the character's hands and was able to replicate it in 3Dmark Speed Way.
Core temps under 70c / Vram temps under 81-82c. Latest Adrenaline drivers (was also happening on the previous driver set). Win11 Home.
CPU temps are also fine, literally nothing is abnormal temps wise.

Specs:
5800X3D / 32GB DDR4-3200 / Corsair Nautilus 240 RGB
Asus ROG B550-A
Sapphire Pulse RX 7900XT (no overclocks applied)
Storage: 1x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1tb, 1x Evo Plus 2tb, 1x Samsung QVO (Sata) 2tb - most games are running off the NVME drives as is windows.
PSU: Corsair RM 750x 2021

I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue, because if it is I can RMA the card, but I need some way to prove this to the retailer. Which I understand is easier said than done, as these little blotches pop up for a fraction of a second (although you can sometimes predict the general area in a given 3Dmark run they might appear. But they don't appear every run, and never in exactly the same place).

From what I hear about GTA Enhanced. It's just low effort Rock Star things.

If it doesn't happen in any other games then get a refund for GTA Enhanced or Search how to roll it back to the older game like a lot of people have been doing

Download memtest_vulkan and see if any errors popup after 30mins of testing https://github.com/GpuZelenograd/memtest_vulkan/releases
already ran a 1hr test of OCCT Vram test and it found no errors. I'll try underclocking the memory and see if that works.

This screenshot is from 3Dmark Speed Way, so it's not just GTA doing it.

Memtest_vulkan is a lot more sensitive to instabilities.
Also, look for partial screen flicker while running the test
