Anyways, I blew it out a bit and it seems okay for now under normal gaming use, haven't stress tested it though.

Unfortunately, if the card wasn't registered within 30 days of purchase, you don't get the double lifetime warranty from XFX, it's only 1 year warranty. If you have the MemEx IPR, then that will be good since you get an instant replacement.
If blowing it out helped with artifacting, it might help to disassemble the shroud and do a good cleaning. With the way the 9800 cooler is designed, some dust can get stuck inside the fins and even compressed air has difficulty getting it out. It might just be heat causing your issues.
