Do you see artifacts in other games? First step I would take it reinstall/update your graphics drivers, check to make sure it's not overheating or overclocked incorrectly, or possibly reinstall the game.
 
Reread the OP, he said it's in two different games.

What does it look like in the other game?

Fresh and clean install of your GPU drivers is a first step. Ever had any other problems with the card? How new is it? What model is it?

The drivers are up-to-date so i think reinstalling will do it. And its not overheating nor is my card overclocked.

What temperature is your card running at? What temperature is your CPU running at? Anything in your system overclocked? What's your power supply?

My card goes from 50c-65c depending what im playing but when im playing a game like Dawn of War it stays around 50c and under. And i dont remember cpu temp and no overclocked card and psu is a Corsair CX 750W. I will be looking at those instructions.

The other game stuff was blacked out on the maps, stuff was floating in mid air and game crashing when equipping a new part. No problems before with card before, it'll turn a year old in may and its a nvidia gtx 760.
 
I also know that I have bad ram because when my computer blue screens I search up the reason it gives and the crash is due to bad ram. Computer will crash up to 3 times a day or none at all.

You can't just say you have bad ram without actually testing it. There are a lot of blue screens that often refer back to your memory but its usually something else causing it. So lets test your memory.

Download and run Memtest86.

http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.zip

Download and unzip this file. Then use burning software that will work with ISO images to physically write the image to a cd, don't just burn the file to a cd as it won't work. You can use IMGburn or I know windows 7 has the feature built in. Once the cd has been created, you will need to boot to the cd and run the test for a couple hours. If any errors shows up then you have bad ram. It may help to run it with only 1 stick installed at a time if you have more than one stick installed.
