Bought an R7 260X, hooked it up, everythings fine.
Booted up a game of War Thunder and suddenly noticed black checkered squares popping up completely randomly, like every other 3 games or so, otherwise the game was smooth as butter
And then just a moment ago, while in-game, the mountains went all black and started flashing, first time this has ever happened.
Nothing crashed or anything and I was still able to play fine but I eventually quit and restarted the game to see if it happened again...and nothing, perfectly normal
What the hell?
It seems to happen in the most random circumstances, like browsing facebook or watching a movie, it's obviously the graphics card but fuck, do I need to take this back and get it replaced?
[B]EDIT: it's not an overheat issue, card runs cool at 30C steady
EDIT2: could it be my old Nvidia graphics driver? i'm uninstalling it now[/B]
Try installing a different version of the AMD drivers and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, you probably have a defective card and need to RMA it.

Hmm, just installed the new beta drivers (prob not better) and booted up WT again, match went fine and then after about 30mins, the sky flashed white a few times.
Beginning to think it's a defective card...:(
Try your card in another PC to be sure.
Could you post a full speccy and the PSU brand plus make?

My previous video card was an 8800 GT and it gave me no problems or squares, it LITERALLY happened after switching the card for the new better one.
However since reinstalling my drivers last night, I've yet to experience any graphical issues but now Alt Tabbing out of game sorta freezes the computer for a second which never happened when I first booted it up yesterday
Grrr
