O.K guys this could be a long one.

Been play Elite Dangerous for 5 years, thought I would upgrade my system to the above specs, spent a lot of money doing this.

My PC was running Elite Dangerous Horizons without any problems, then suddenly I started getting glitches on screen and short .5 second pauses regularly, after asking on this forum it was suggested that I remove Nahimic (Sound Drivers from ASUS) so I uninstalled these and even trolled through redgedit to delete any and all Nahimic entries, after a reboot it worked fine again for awhile, then it came back, so I checked that Nahimic hadn't returned and I even went through Regedit again, nothing! The only change I have made in the Asus Bios is to step up my ram frequency from 2234Mhz to what it should be 3200Mhz so I just don't understand why this only happens in Elite Dangerous, all other games play great no problems at all, i.e. Assasins Creed Origins and Oddysey, Far Cry 5 etc, so it must be Elite Dangerous that is giving me grief, all settings dropped from Ultra to High, I always Play at 1440p, but it still glitches even when I drop it to 1080p. This is the only problem I have with my system and this game. Does anyone else have this type of problem and is there a solution, it's doing my head in?

Can you be more specific as to what sort of graphics glitches you're seeing?

Elite: Dangerous is exceptionally demanding; chances are that you don't have any other games that will load a GPU more heavily, even if they are newer and prettier. There could easily be underlying issues with your particular RTX 2070 sample, your PSU, or your case airflow/cooling, that went unnoticed in other games.

You may also want to try reverting memory to auto settings, just to see if that solves anything.

Did you ever do any stress testing to see if there were issues after assembling this system?

The PC was purchased from PC Specialists in January 2020 and worked great up till recently, I'll try reseting memory, and see if that alters anything. My GTX 970 on my old PC didn't have a problem running Elite Dangerous and it only had 16gb RAM. I recently updated the 2070 Super so I will go back one and see if that helps.

O.K I think I may have solved it. I uninsatllaed all AMD software using Advanced System Cares Uninstaller software, rebooted the PC and entered the UEFI BIOS and selected the DEFAULT settings, re-booted and then fired up ED. The screen judder was gone I only get the occasional .5 second screen freeze every 5 or so minutes. So I think I may need to use the Nvidia Control Panel to set preferences, and I may try to use DCOP in the Bios to take my RAM from 2333Mhz (Bios Default) to 3200Mhz which is it's marked speed. This may allow me to increase some of my ED settings from High to Ultra and I hopefully will find my sweet spot

Thanks for your suggestions, if you have any more please let me know. Fly Safe Commander. I will remove GF Experience as that seemed to work before.

Hmmmm....
I'm flying an older, less capable rig than yours (R5 1600, 16GB @ 3200 [Samsung b- die], RX 590) that I had happily OC'd and working fine with anything I threw at it - and then I loaded Elite Dangerous.
The main problem was ED crashing in the System Map; resolved by lowering Galaxy Map quality from HIGH to MEDIUM (initially, I'd stuck the main 'Quality' on Ultra).
Thereafter, while no longer crashing (🥳), I noticed I was getting 'blackouts' of about 2 seconds that could happen at any time, some days worse than others.
So, I did what you did - knocked everything back to 'default' in the bios and elsewhere to remove the OC... but that didn't seem to make any difference. :cry:
Later, I noticed that each time I fired up ED, the Radeon software had disabled 'Enhanced Sync' in the ED game settings (which is to do with my freesync monitor, I think), though in the Global Graphics settings, it was always enabled, as it should be. And so, each time I play, I reset the ED settings back to enabled - but it seems to make no difference. The random blackouts continue. 😭
It's as if the monitor is switching resolutions or refresh rates. But, there's never any message about a change - the image just disappears.... and then comes back again. And hopefully, in the meantime, I haven't missed the shot / smacked into the asteroid / something else equally dumb. And it ONLY happens in ED.
I'd just about gotten used to thinking it was an AMD driver glitch, but then I saw your post; now I'm not so sure...🤔
Any suggestions will be welcome

Yeah, it's 'Off, unless application specifies' - but it's also greyed out, because the option immediately above it (in Radeon Adrenalin 2020) is where 'Enhanced Sync' is switched on, which is supposedly correct for freesync monitors (although, it's meant to be ok for non-freesync monitors too).
I looked into all these settings a while ago when I upgraded the GPU about a year ago - was playing a lot of Fallout 4 back then.

Enhanced sync is a form of vsync, but it shouldn't be causing the problems you note.

Thanks for the message. It confirms how I understood it too, on both counts. Then I saw this post and wondered if what I'm getting is related to howardtay's (albeit nvidia) glitch - althouogh, perhaps I misunderstood 'pause' if their issue is a freeze.
