With videocard overclock, card may run impeccable during benchmarks but give artifacts in real games. That's a simple fact of life.
If you want to play benchmarks, keep that overclock.
If you want to play arma 3 & bf4 lower that overclock.

Btw, with your system- and videocard overclock, you might want to look for a more powerful PSU than that 550W Coolermaster.

I had flickering problem with my 280x too, then Asus release a new BIOS because they've messed up with vram voltage and now I've no more problems.

I've also noticed that mine tend to arctifact more above 75/80°C in Unigine Heaven, (I use it for testing because I can see the arctifacts)

anyway what's your vcore?

When my card gets over 70C, I start to develop stability issues as well. Heat is a cruel mistress.

especially for Tahiti, it's OC for ours chip is very dependent on temperature
