I purchased an ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD 7790 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI.

A few weeks ago, it started doing extreme artifacts after about 10 minutes of game play, rendering games completely unplayable. When I'd shut down the game, the desktop looks fine/normal.
When I check the temp immediately after shutting down a game due to artifacts, the highest its ever been was 55C - from what I understand, this is well within normal operating temps?
The artifacting/distortions only occur when I play games, but they immediately cease when I shut down the game and go back to desktop.
If I restart the game immediately, the artifacting reappears immediately. But if I shut down the PC for hours, then reboot it- the artifacting won't appear for 10-15 minutes.
I've never had video card problems in the past, so I wanted to know- do I have a defective card, or is it motherboard/software related? I have never OC'd this card either.
