I've been getting graphical glitches lately. It's been weird.

First in world of warcraft: http://i.imgur.com/CayCaf9.jpg
I fixed this by switching to 32 bit wow. No longer happens.

Rust: Shadows are blocky.

Right clicking on gifs and stuff glitches out. Things flashing.

Things I've tried: I checked cables to my video card, no problems.
I reformatted, issue persisted.
I switched video cards back to my old one. Problem happened on my old one.
Reinstalled drivers many of times.

Take into account, this is very recent, days old. I installed new drivers. I don't know the problem. I was looking for more insight.

Relax any GPU overclocks you may have to stock speeds and then install Furmark it's a GPU stress test if it start artifacting at stock you may have a heat issue if so get some airflow over that GPU and if problems still persist I would contact the GPU manufacturer and get it replaced

I'm doubtful it's a heat issue, unless the heat sensor is wrong. It comes up as below 30 celcius. Im a little confused why its happening on 2 video cards. Considering the first hasn't been used since I got this one and didn't have this issue.

I've been thinking that something in my pc is going bad, not sure what.

Have you got multiple PCIe slots on your motherboard try each one it has to be a minimum of 8x for a Geforce cards though if the problem still continues after trying all compatible PCIe slots it may be a sign of a dieing PSU or a dieing motherboard

From the sounds of it it's very likely to be your motherboard but to check if it's your PSU you can do the PSU test on OCCT just be aware this MAY CAUSE system hang and it probably will raise your electric bill a little bit this month because it puts full load on the entire system http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download
and if your PSU is some off brand non 80+ PSU I wold not recommend doing this because they are prone to failure and they often take hardware with it
