    What Power supply?

    Its looking very much like a faulty GPU for sure. I don't think you'd generally expect artifacting through if the card was under powered.

    Its your graphics card. Either a bad driver, or the hardware is faulty.

    Same as mine, same card too. You aren't underpowered unless its faulty. Sounds like you need to RMA your graphics card

    You could try completely removing video drivers and then installing previous version. But it's more likely that the GPU is dying.

    you could download a GPU stress test after you have checked your driver updates. should be fairly clear if it's the issue.

    I got that exact issue after installing the 296.10 drivers. Switch back to the previous drivers, or give the new beta ones a try.

    I'm using a 560 Ti as well. I thought my video card fried when it happened, but going back to the previous drivers fixed it. So try that before doing anything drastic.
