Graphical bug (Terrain glitch)

[_Oracle]

I keep getting these graphical glitches in the city of Novigrad. It has something to do with the terrain.

I have everything maxed out except Shadows and Foilage Distance to Medium (and Hairworks disabled). See screenshots below:

I am not sure what causes this. You can find my PC specs in my profile.
Thanks.

EDIT: Fixed screenshot links.

I verified cache as well to no effect.

I had red dots popping out of textures in Novigrad and tranparent buildings in Toussaint, when Geralt entered and fell inside some of them. Relaunching the game helped in these situations twice.

Relaunching/restarting the game did not work :(

These are the only spots I could find, not really an issue, but it might exist somewhere else.

The visual bugs are constant, I mean they always appear in the same places in the same shape regardless you restarting the game or the PC?

Or they happen in random locations?

If it's the former is some kind of software problem. Maybe some game, driver, directx file got corrupted. Reinstalling the game or the driver or the directX packages could solve it.

Being the latter points to a hardware related problem. An overclock or the card self clocking too high maybe.

I remember that I experienced the same artifacts on the same spot in Novigrad once. Though playing on GTX 960 at 1080p using mixed medium-high settings. My buddy's R9 290X regularly causes black screens and freezes because of its Elpida VRAM chips.

Try to lower some settings. Don't know much about over/downclocking of AMD GPUs.

I found the solution, I had to force Tesselation to 8x from my graphic driver setting.
