Bought the whole set one time at November 1,2013

sooo at the first 3 months of playing games ( online / offline ) everything was fine, then boom "artifacting" Games played: Guildwars 2, Skyrim, Minecraft. ( these are the games i usually play )

I have not tweaked anything. No overclocking, underclocking etc. Direct 3D settings from Nvidia Control Panel is "let the 3D application decide"

I found a post that 314.22 is a "stable" driver. but it does not support 700series. although there is also a post that you can tweak the .inf file to be able to detect the graphics card. if i install it would it cause the video card to be damaged?

Is this really a Driver Issue? the current driver I have is 344.11

what are my options? aside from RMA ( because it would take 3 months, yes 3 months! imagine 3 months without Graphics Card ) and no overclocking or underclocking ( i'm scared )

P.S I have been always updating the graphics card since i bought it last nov 1, 2013.
 
Solution
Raising the VCCSA (which is the System Agent Voltage) that sligh amount won't have any adverse effect, what it may do is stabilize the GPU

I won't bother talking to them. they would just say "bring it here and we'll fix it (takes 2 weeks) if we can't fix it we will bring it to our capital city ( takes 30-40 working days ) if they can't fix it they will send it to their supplier ( another 30-40 working days ) so yeah.
