Default EVGA 9800 GX2 Awful Artifacting

Hello,

I have a fairly new and fairly awesome computer that I bought last August. Inside, it has a decent amount of kick[**8**888 CENZORED LULZ**88*] hardware, including an eVGA 9800 GX2 so on and yada yada (this'in). Recently it has started artifacting and nothing I have done will calm it down. I cleaned out the fairly clean computer case with a can of wind, took out the beastly thing and sprayed the bejesus out of the slot that it was in. I installed the latest and greatest drivers from eVGA, downloaded eVGA Precision, cranked up the fan to 100% and EVEN kissed it as it was going back into the slot. It still artifacts.

This is my computer:

I have attached a useless picture of eVGA Precision for your enjoyment.

Oh and here's a useless video of it artifacting on my wonderful 24 inch HD monitor: http://www.danielimhoff.com/06-06-09_1246.3g2

Not downloading some weird movie thing, please just cut to the chase and attach a picture if you think it is relevant in the future. Artifacts = heat (which you checked for) or VRAM is dead/dying, RMA it.
