Getting artifacts playing a game.

[KGREE]

When I play the Crash N Sane Trilogy, I often get artifacts showing up. This is the only game that does it. I've updated the drivers to the latest and uninstalled and reinstalled completely, but that doesn't work. I'm currently using a core m3 7y30 with intel hd graphics 615. is there any solution to this?

Here is the dxdiag. I'm running it on a GPD win 2, which has a built in screen which uses a generic PnP monitor. And the resolution of the desktop is 1280x720, but the game resolution is 960x544.
