    I suggest reverting to stock drivers, and if the problem does not repeat, it's certainly due to drivers.

    If it does, it might be overheating, or a bad GPU. But I doubt that.

    What are the temps on your GPU when this happens?

    That;s not so uncommon for newer GPUs.

    If it's not above 90 - 100 degrees Celsius when you get artifacts, it's probably not because of heat.

    I would suggest downloading a Live Linux distro, e.g., Knoppix or even better Slax with the nVidia driver module. try running it for a few hours. If it does the same thing, I think the GPU is bad and you need to RMA.
