Been awhile since I fired this up, but I recall it running quite well on a 3GB 7970 back in 2012 or so... great game

If it's a legitimate copy, you should be able to update the game to the latest version; check your graphics configuration. It kind of sounds like possibly a draw distance or adaptive degradation at play. 290/290x should handle it very well and with a smooth framerate. Start by disabling AA and try a medium spec preset. If everything is okay, bring it up to higher quality and see what happens. Might need to tweak a setting or two, but you can make a profile for the game in RS and override the options that way too.

A screenshot of the issue would also be helpful.

Any issues with other games?

Did you clean your case from dust in the past 6 months? Does the artifacting still happen if you improve the cooling?
