2015 new 15" rMBP with AMD screen shake/flicker

I bought a 15"rMBP with AMD graphics card few days ago and noticed a tiny bit of a shake/tremble at times, and black noise for a split second at times . It is worse when doing detailed work on photoshop but happens while surfing the net too.
I called apple support and they wanted me to do 2 resets which didn't help so sending back for replacement...
However I heard other people, at least 4 people are seeing the same problem, so not hopeful that the new one will be any better.

I tried all solutions I found on the internet, turning off wifi, using 5G wifi, all resets and getting rid of transparency etc etc.. nothing worked so far.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), with AMD graphics card

I Thought it might be a driver problem but it was hardware issue. Got mine replaced and working fine.

14 days depend on where you buy it from, which country etc.

COntact apple support asap
