Well, egads.

Turns out the artifacts with buildings set to unlimited and stutter I was getting was not video related, or at least it doesn't seem to be the case.

I downclocked from 4.5ghz to 4.2ghz and voila! Artifacts gone and stutter is pretty much gone too.* It may sound strange, but my vcore (1.32v) might not have been quite enough juice at 4.5ghz.
I'm not 100% sure if it really is the case, but what else can it be, with everything else the same?
(Temps were okay at 4.5ghz, so heat was not the issue.)

*Except for the first 30 seconds or so over London.
