Artifacting problems are usually due to overheating hardware, but software incompatabilities (like from the driver), could also cause the issue. I would check your GPU temperatures if you can and make sure they aren't out of control (anything above 70șC - 75șC is out of control). Also physically inspect the video card and the heatsink fan assembly for dust buildup that could cause the temperatures to rise out of control.
