Is my GPU defective?

I play multiple games a day and they all cause my graphics driver to crash. I have ran all sorts of different version of the driver and all of them act the same. I've tried reseating the gpu and reinstalling it. Sometimes I get artifacts, other times I get a bunch of red dots all over my screen. All of these symptoms suddenly appear during gameplay and will stick around until I restart my computer.If you need anymore information I would be glad to provide it for you.

My Specs:
GPU: EVGA GTX 660
CPU: Intel i5 4670 @ 3.4
Motherboard: Gigabyte H87M-D3H
Power supply: Corsair CX750
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance clocked @ 1333 Mhz
 
It's most likely the GPU but I might remove the card and run the integrated graphics as much as that will handle to see if something similar happens with that. I have had odd graphical glitches occur as a result of a CPU failure.

Has a memory test been performed also? Let's be thorough before we suggest a new card!

I just completed a memtest with no failures. I did run off of integrated for a few days a while back and I didn't encounter any problems.
