Software artifacts in Windows 8.1

Hey,

So I'm getting some weird artifacts during games (flickering, texture pop-ins/stuttering (despite g-sync)) and was wondering if anyone could help me on the cause. I've ruled out a faulty GPU by replacing my 780ti to test with my old 760 and having the same results. Also, the artifacts are perfectly reproducible (by running through the same areas twice). Here's what I figured out by testing:

- I don't believe it's a storage issue either since the issue persists whether playing games on my HDD or SSD

- Reverting to previous drivers helps with stutter, but pop-ins still occur.

What I suspect:
- potentially Geforce experience since 344.11 came with that update for it

- a bad windows (I'll be happy to reinstall)

- a bad mobo (least likely but is this possible?)

Thanks if you can help this issue! It worked perfectly before I upgraded to 344.11, but now reverting causes the same issues.
