Have you overclocked your GPU? Tried reseating it and disconnecting and reconnecting the cable to the monitor?
It's not overclocked.
I just found an old 5870 and put that in. No artifacts.
I've left it all powered off for now. I will try putting it back and checking it is seated properly a bit later.
What's the best way to check the temps? Just run a game in windowed mode and use the temp gauge in the AMD control panel?

That's one way of doing it, though this is better. Download MSI Afterburner (top left) and install, then report back.

Seems my thread asking about which new card to buy has turned into another troubleshooting thread. Apologies, all - it wasn't my intent to double-post on this issue.
Anyway - temps:
40 idle, and sitting on the title screen of Dying Light, it hit around 64. I didn't bother to go in-game, as even on the title screen there were artifacts everywhere, so I'm guessing temperatures are not the issue.
I think I'm going to call it.
