If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

He said 'OpenGL 4.2' which indicates an older one. This hardware supports GL 4.5 in its latest version. And yes, the 4.2 drivers are known to be bad.

It shouldn't. It should actually make your graphics card's performance better.

At least it should make the visual garbage go away. With AMD nothing is guaranteed, aside from regularly having some broken versions in-between.
