If you have another PSU i would try that, and raising AGP voltage a tad. My old R9700P did the same thing about 2 years ago and i got a new one with RMA. I saw the same thing you described in MOHAA. I reformatted and it was the same. Tried the card on a totally different PC and it was the same. Then i ran loops of 3d mark 2001 and i saw it there too. It was the memory on the card going bad.
 
Some 9700's have a bad contact with the cooler because the shim around the gpu is too high. That would cause the card to overheat when doing 3d stuff and display artifacts.
 
Long thin triangles is a symptom of a memory problem.
(VC memory that is ... texture tearing)

Sounds like you need some better air flow in your case.
Make sure all you case fans are running.
Move/arrange cables and wires for better air flow.
Clean screens if you use them.

As for a PS problem ...?
Have you added hardware lately ..?
If so, try unplugging a couple devices that your not using.
See if it helps. If it does, get a new PS.

Does it happen right away or hours into gameplay? Maybe your case fans are choked with dust bunnies and ghost farts 🙂
