My problem is that i have always played crysis with no problem but than i decided to overclock it before i played again I stress tested it in furmark with no problems my temps didnt even go above 71c

so i tested it for an hour but than I played shogun 2 without any problems than Crysis 3 with artifacts off the bat is this a game issue?
 
Solution
Just bear in mind voltage increases dramatically increase the heat output and will shorten the component lifespan.
As a cautious guy I'd suggest you knock the OC down a bit rather than boost the voltage-but then again, I AM a cautious guy.

well what about furmark which supposedly gives the gpu an unrealistic stress it was perfect and i did up the voltage to see if that was the problem but the artifacts increased

every game uses ur gpu diffrently, crysis 3 is very hardcore, and is trying to use ur full gpu overclock settings, and ur gpu isnt getting enough voltage to do that, which causes artifacts to appear.

i understand other games not being the same but I mean furmark is suppose to put an unrealistic stress on your gpu that games wouldnt

unless thats not true?

furmark is supposed to put quite alot of stress on ur gpu, but as i said, every program uses ur gpu diffrently. ur crysis 3 artifacts are probably being caused from not enough voltage for the memory crysis 3 is trying to use.
