    Try updating your video card's drivers on ati page

    Artefacts are also caused by heat most of the times so you might want to monitor the GPU's temperature with ATI Tool

    it says the newer drivers arent compatable for asus

    and those artifacts aren't heat related they are always there

    That doesn't look like an artifact problem, more like a texture problem.
    Artifacts are either dots everywhere, or like polygon shards(almost like the original 3D object got dismantled).

    I suspect that one of your texture files got corrupted and needs to be reinstalled rather than a video card problem, as it would be much more severe like the pictures above.
