Is my 7970 defective?

I played Saints Row 3 fine but I had a session 1h20min and once I get to the trojan wores episode once I get up to roof to kill snipers I get artifacts.

I had small OC 999/1375 so I put back to 925/1375 so stock and still same episode on roof sniper I get artifacts?!

Should I RMA or is it the game, seems like the artifacts comes only in Sniper roof moment.

Here you see agressive artifacs

Here it is more conservative artifacts so sometimes it not show artifacts:

have you tried any other games to see if you get artifacts on those?

and did you reboot after the artifacts with the oc. Once ya get artifacts it affects your drivers and a reboot is required to clear it up again.

should of watched the vids before posting lol that looks more like a game issue not a card. looks like games dynamics are out of sort. Dynamics most likely wrong term but hopefully you get my meaning.
