Not sure if a problem with my GPU or something else.

While in games I get these tears that look as if they are randomly spread across my monitor that are very obvious. However it doesnt happen when im doing anything else, such as watch youtube or just browsing. I've used Geforce shadowplay so that you can see what is exactly happening. As it appears in shadowplay which records from the GPU, im getting the idea that my GPU is busted and I need to buy a new one. The graphics card is nearly two years old if that helps.

Here's the shadowplay recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDi9W9L5XqE&feature=youtu.be
I belive I recorded it at 1080p 60fps at 60 bit rate.

Here's all my other info:

looks like a bad Video card or too much overclock. worth checking power connectors and cleaning the card. check for high temps and unstable voltages. might be time for a RMA

I'm guessing (not sure) that's what you call artifacting
Did it only happen in that game or only when you use shadowplay?
Have you tried verifying the game cache integrity?
Can you RMA your card?

No its past the amazon return date. Sadly. However I have sent off a Technical Support to Asus today.
It happens in nearly all of the games ive tried. From arma 3, far cry 3, life is strange, Ride. and a lot more. The only games that it hasnt happened in recently are Smite and the Rainbow Six: Seige beta. Shadowplay does't change anything. It does it with and without it recording.

I opened up my pc checked all the wires to make sure they are all connected properly. Then rebooted my pc and nothing changed. Then I came back to what you said about overclocking. This card has the Asus GPUtweak application. I opened this app up and looked at all of the preset settings. I came across the gaming setting and now everything is back to normal. Im not sure if this is a permanent fix or if this will just let me use my card for a while longer as i've never had this setting on before. Anyways thanks for mentioning about the overclocking as it triggered a memory of this app :)
