Im clean installing.. wiping the disk before, tried that with internet recovery mode, also tried with downloading and creating a bootable usb installer and use that after wiping disk
Nvram reset clears that. Until you cause it again with the migration assistant. Similar bug happens with adobe premiere. Persist until nvram reset.

Nope i tried nvram reset both directly before and directly after clean installs, and smc resets, and first aid in disk utility
Have 5 "software" bugs that come everytime and never goes away. Now im on 4th new clean install.

Went to the Doctor and said 'it hurts when I do this'

He replied 'well stop doing that'

Would help if you just waited for a couple of software updates instead of looking for obscure Quartz bugs. I hate to think how you would have reacted if you saw how 10.0.0 ran.

What other apps are you using? I remember I had a graphical glitch in Sketchbook Pro. Then I discovered that another app, called Yoink (a simple, but cool app that adds a small space to drag your files to temporarily) was causing the glitch. Quitting it removed the graphical issue in Sketchbook.

I'm not saying this is your case, but it shows that two, unrelated apps can cause issues when working together. Also, there could be some random bugs that vary from configuration to configuration. Maybe the glitch happens only when you have an english keyboard set, you're in a specific time zone and you installed the Adobe software in a specific way. Ok, I'm stretching it a bit, but who knows.

I do understand this is very frustrating to you and all of this doesn't help :(

I cant wait for updates, need to know if its hardware fault or not before return period ends. And if its only software bugs causing this "randomly" since not everyone have it, then 4 clean install on first .1 and now .2 should in my opinion atleast remove 1 of the 5 errors.

And apple support have no clue about their own products.. showed them it all and they dont know whats wrong

I use it for business and cant have a unreliable computer.

Only thing that can cause it is if the firmware have bugs since thats the only thing thats not wiped at clean installs
Or if its hardware errors triggered by doing these test methods
 
I have found 3 ways to reproduce graphic glitches on the new macbook pro 2016. Even on a clean install with latest .2 version of sierra.

1. Start siri so the siri window open. Then toggle "automatic graphics switching" in the energy saver preferences. This produce a yellow colored glithc in the siri window. (most likeley software bug)

2. Boot in safemode. Hold shift during startup. This give a blinking screen of white with horizontal lines moving upwards until the login come. After login its alot of screen tearing when moving finder windows or similiar. (most likely software "bug")

3. Start migration assistant. When it started quit it directly and it goes back to a login screen. Login and you will see a flash of weird colors for a while. Sometimes they stay until restart. This is the worst one and can be indicator of hardware error.


How many more get these? If you do get it, report it to apple support so they can fix it faster..
I tried 1 and 3 on display models in store and got same even..

These are tiny nitpicky things. Not major bugs.

Ok, thanks for the info. I explained what was happening during boot up into safe mode to the Sr. Advisor and he told me it wasn't supposed to do that.

Yeah, I hope I get it resolved too... however, I'm pretty gun shy right now and I'm not sure if the confidence is there to carry on stressing out over a $4,000 laptop.

We'll see what they say, but I'm leaning towards throwing in the towel and getting my money back.

Just replace it. Not rocket science. I am sure it will get fixed. Blame Adobe at this point for sure because it's on them for failing to test their drivers with the new OS.

A few pathetic miniscule bugs is not "unreliable." It's called life. Get on your big boy pants. There is lots of time left to return.

Do REAL WORK in Photoshop/Premiere and see what happens. If it bugs out, return it since not all machines are doing so.
