Whoa, thats a first for me. Looks like Artifacts from a lighting effect. Because its happening in multiple games, i have to assume its hardware related, but the Cable/monitor would be on my list as well. Ill setup an RMA for testing here.

He claims that he tried another monitor and cable and it's still doing the same thing

To me it looks like something related to HDR

Update: Received today my notification from amazon.de and they will not replace the card but send back the money so i can buy a new one. Since i did not want to start a new thread for choosing a new VGA (or should i?) could you please suggest something for me here more or less in the price range of an RX 580? Or should i stick with the RX but with a different manufacturer?

I actually had this exact same thing on GOW5 on my Vega in dark scenes. I honestly thought it was a game effect. It was annoying as heck though. But I am playing Outer Worlds and not seen it there
Edit: I should also mention I was messing with a pretty precarious HBM OC.

Did you get in reach with @XFXSupport to see what options you have?

I'd highly recommend the Asus Rog too. Triple fans (case permitting) and some cool lighting.

Found two cards with almost the same price:
a, Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 590 8GD5 Special Edition 8GB GDDR5
b, Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Twin Fan

From the benchmarks i found it seems both are performing similarly. Any suggestions are welcome which one to choose. :)

I bought a Sapphire Pulse RX590 8Gb for a recent customer build, paired with a Ryzen 2600 and he's playing all his games as smooth as you like.
Good build quality too.

590 is good, i used to own fatboy, did resell it becouse i found it having similiar perfomance to 580, 5-10+fps difference, and i think 1660 have slighty better perform than 590 in some games, but you were mentioned faster model nitro+ se, so i think both neck to neck, pick your favorite one, your call :)

So what will you do?

Considering PC Partner was the parent of Sapphire, either way you go is great. Just make sure to adjust fan curves on the zotac

Well it turned out that the RX 590 couldn't be shipped where i live and the next seller was waaay more expensive so i ordered the GTX1660. Will be my first nVidia card so i hope it will be good.

both are good,if the same price then get the 1660,but I'd try to look for black friday deals on 1660 super instead.

Have to send the faulty card back by 13th and i need the PC so can't wait weeks for the black friday sales.

Thanks everyone for the fix suggestions and helping to choose my new VGA. All that remains is now to wait and hope for the best i guess. :)

As you can see here with the four 580s tested (74-77) ... temps are obviously not the problem


Back a few years, we used to see AMD cards more 0ften than nVidia at this prce range ... but since the 780 when nvidia held the top tier ven after the rlease of the 290x (with both cards overclocked) , with each successive generation, it seems nvidia's been able to capture the next lowest tier. At this point, *** if you are overclocking ***, and I see you have installed MSI AB, I find it hard to make a case for AMD from the $200 price point on up.

As for deciding which AIB 1660 to get ... look at the middle table here:
