Lots of artifacting on my HD3870X2

Hi all, I've recently gotten a SAPPHIRE HD3870X2 512MB GDDR3, and after some drivers issues I got it to work. Unfortunately, I am experiencing graphical corruption and -artifacting on several games, such as:
- Call Of Duty 4 (a lot)
- Crysis (rarely)
- Mount & Blade (rarely)
- Half-Life 2 Mods (rarely, mainly with transparent textures)
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (a lot)

All these games are ran at 1152x864 at max settings (so that includes AA, AF, and other tidbits and features).

If I leave my fan to automatically cool the card, it reaches around 60°C-70°C. If I use RivaTuner to manually set the fan speed a bit higher, it'll go down to 45°C-50°C. The main problem is that the artifacts keep occuring regardless of temperature.

This is a completely new card and there isn't any dust on it, and airflow is good.

Anyone have some suggestions?
