the artifacts look like little black pixels most of the time in a groups and only appear in some games in certain areas, they are not annoying to me but are they bad?

Are you overclocking at all?

since you're not overclocking and the temps are way in the safe zone I'm going to say it's a defected card. RMA it. You could also do a quick check in a different PC to check if it's not some other thing (like PSU - which I doubt)
