tried different monitor, thats not it
So, the card ram is probably this issue then.. well hopefully after I get better cooling the problem will stop, or at least it will hold out long enough so that I can get the new card when I do the rest of the system in a few months.
Artifacting is usually a faulty video ram, once it starts doing that using stock speeds it will only go worse from there. It might help to _down_clock your videomemory.
