Lots of issues with DX12 and Vulcan. Pixels on explosions

Examples inside

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I’m experiencing lots of bugs and crashes both on DX12 and Vulcan. For example on big explosions I see pixels. Take a look at these two videos:

DX12 can flicker on menus and story videos. 

Vulcan one time just showed black screen with some garbage on it. 

DX11 works okay, but I see pixels on explosions too. 

What’s going on? I’m on a powerful laptop that has no issues in other games and benchmarks. Drivers are the latest.

When i'm playing Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation in DX12 mode i'm catching lots of errors with two different descriptions in event manager:

Based on a quick google, this exact error message has appeared for other games. Best guess, there’s a bad device somewhere on your PCIe bus and/or loose connection. Is the GPU MXM in that laptop or soldered on?

Lol, geforce guys (from forum) navigated me here. Honestly, AotS is the only game making such errors on my PC.
