Artefacts, GPU issue?

Hi all,

I have been playing Company of Heroes 2(catching up on games). I have ran into an issue that I seem to have had a couple times on different games with artefacts.

Here is how it looks on COH2.

This is very random, played for 12 hours before getting it but it remains on the game after loading the saved game but disappears when I exit the game and enter the saved game. I must say there is no fps loss, crashes etc just the crap message about changing windows aero after exiting which I ignore anyway.

A similar thing has happened in BF3 and F12014 although only once or twice and went away when the next level loaded which makes me think its a possible hardware or loading issue but these 2 times have only been shadow glitches, much less intrusive as the screen shot one.

My PC specs are,

MSI R9 280x
I5-4570
SSD 256gb
8gb Ram
650w PSU gold plus.

The game keeps a solid 90 fps(unless shit hits the fan), temps are in high 50s low 60s for the GPU and my CPU is is high 40s low 50s. Max GPU usage after 1 hour is only 75% and the CPU is at approx 66% according to MSI afterburner.

I'm just wondering, could these be simply load issues or should I see about returning my card etc as they are all still under warranty as this is a pretty new build, less than 3 months old.

I may be over reacting just with the tales of artefacts on the R9s I wanted to be safe than sorry.

Many thanks!
