Graphical glitches on many visual effects after I updated my drivers
So after updating my AMD radeon RX 6800 drivers I immedietaly started having graphical glitches whenever certain visual effects are triggered, like when the chromatic orb spell hits someone, certain enemies use dash and certain random other things. Basically a square of white pixels flashes from where the effect is happening and sometimes covers the entire screen for a second.

I tried clearing the cache and restarting the pc and it seems to have removed some of the glitches, but others are still there. Any information about what's going on and how to fix it would be appreciated.

Same, but with the XT version of the card.

Switching to directX 11 seems to have resolved the issue, at least from what I've seen so far, thank you.

This solved for me too and indeed is the new drivers fault and not Patch 8 for anyone seeing this, (fez a boa mano)

just started playing again after a few months and noticed this, 6800XT as well. turned on FSR 2.2 and a lot of it went away but still getting some glitches/artifacts

For me all the problems went away when I started selecting directX 11 in the launcher instead of Vulkan.
