Hi Axa
Without knowing your PC specifications, it can be difficult to help you.
Please read “Suggestions on posting and getting better answers”

Firstly please check that your PSU meets the GPU power requirements, see the list here: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards
It states that this GPU needs 24A and a 500W psu minimum
Nevertheless, even if your PSU meets these requirements, it could be that your GPU is still getting too little power and causing the artifacts.
I have a R9 270X GAMING 2G myself and my PSU meets the power requirements above, but I still have to use MSI afterburner to increase “Power Limits”
Without increasing the “Power Limit” in MSI Afterburner, I get artifacts too.
Here is my setup up for different Core Clock (MHz):
1 - Core Clock (MHz) 1050, Memory Clock (MHz) 1400, Power Limit (%) +5
2 - Core Clock (MHz) 1080, Memory Clock (MHz) 1400, Power Limit (%) +10
3 - Core Clock (MHz) 1120, Memory Clock (MHz) 1400, Power Limit (%) +20
As you can see, I increase the power limit even on 1050 MHz and further increase it when increasing the Core Clock (MHz). I do not change the Memory Clock (MHz) as I my experience, it makes no difference in performance.
If you have not already installed MSI Afterburner, you can download it here: http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/
I hope this is helpful and please post your specifications next time, it makes it easier for people in here to help you.
PS: You may find this helpful if your GPU overheats.
To avoid overheating I use custom fan settings during gaming.
In afterburner settings, under tab “Fan”, under “Temperature hysteresis (in C) I used the value 10. As far as I know, what this does is that it follows the fan curve as if the GPU was 10 degrees warmer than it actually is. This keeps my GPU nice and cool. In Battlefield 3 the temperature stays between 60 to 65 degrees, and it is pretty warm here in China where I live. The temperature would otherwise go up to about 75-80 degrees which is not bad either. Still I find that the GPU is more stable under lower degrees.
