GTX 1080 Ti / GPU Z specs

Could you guys, please, tell me if those specs are okay ? GPU Z Sensors, especially
I have some strange issues and I'm not sure if the GPU or something else could be the culprit ( some pixelated clouds, pink - green colors around clouds / edges )
Thank you

So the GPU-z report is with the card at idle?
When do you see the artifacting?
Is the GPU new or used?
Is it overclocked?
What is your system otherwise?

It's hard to comment without a screen shot at load or when you have the issue.

Sensor readings look OK for an idle card that doesn't run the fans at idle.
In which games are you seeing artifacts?
Why are you running driver version 417.01? That's over 10 releases old. Go get 419.67, which is a couple of releases old but doesn't exhibit the odd CPU usage issue that was reported by some users which requires a driver hot fix from Nvidia to correct.

Reseat the card.. it is running at pcie 3.0 x2. And it should be pcie 3.0 x16...

as said above update your drivers.

Araxie, right now, the gpu is in the PCIex 16_3
I tested all the PCIex 16 ( i know, the driver it's older, I tested many different versions)
its a long story, I can't find where the problem is coming from
I have strange clouds in every flight simulators, especially X-Plane 11
Sometimes, weird fog textures, clouds look all over the places, even on the ground, it's hard to describe
I thought, it could be the CPU overclock
I7 9700k OC 5Ghz and the 4 pin slot, on the mainboard, it's free, right beside the 8 pin slots
This 4 pin is for heavy overclock, as far as I know
Here is a short video, recorded with the mobile phone, from X-Plane 11, flying through the clouds

I tested 2 other different GPUs, GTX 980ti and R9 390x
Tried with 5 different hdmi cables. No go
I even purchased another TV. I still have the older one, Samsung ks7500 55 inches
Now, I have the Samsung Q9FN, 55 inches
Same, exactly the same story
When I watch some YouTube videos 1080p, for example, with flight simulators, it looks awful
When I do watch exactly the same videos, from the mobile phone to the TV ( casting, no hdmi cable, no PC) it looks great, same 1080p resolution
Question : why does my GPU indicates 3.0 x2 instead x16 ?
Sometime when I fly, i just have the feeling like my GPU is not sending all the colors on the TV display, and even the power of the GPU is lower
Nvidia control panel settings is like it should be :
RGB full, 32 bit, 8 bpc....
Another question, guys : could it be possible that my Mainboard has a very very small faulty chip, somewhere, and it's affecting the GPU?
Could the PSU be the culprit?
Corsair RM 750....
Everything started 3 - 4 weeks ago, I still try to find out what it could be
Thank you for your help and support

If you put the CPU at stock speeds does it exhibit the same artifacting? Easy way to check if your CPU is affecting it.

Yes, the card was at idle, when i made the printscreens
I see the artifacts when I do play my favor flight simulator Xplane 11
GPU is old, about 18 months
No, the GPU isn't OC
My system specs :
I7 9700K@ 5.0GHz | 32 GB DDR4 | ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO | EVGA 1080 Ti, 3 SSD , 2 X HDD, DVD RW

I think there is nothing I can do, unfortunatelly

Someone wrote in another forum, i attached a printscreen, and I think that's the answer

If i ask Samsung to replace the TV, i don't know if it's help
8 bit is 8 bit ...
I'm starting to think about HP Omen 65 inches, 8 bit + FRC

Do you see the artifacts when using a computer monitor? If not, then you may be right.

I don't have a computer monitor right now

That looks like pretty normal dithering with 8 bit color banding. There are also HDMI bandwidth limitations in play so a lot will depend on what refresh rate, resolution, chroma, etc is being used.

Nothing there looks like a video card defect. I know nothing about XPlane though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterization

I'm not a Samsung TV fan so I'm not familiar with the model but you could also look around to see if it's known to accentuate color banding / posterization. Sometimes the TV's processing makes this worse.

To be honest, I'm not even sure if that's COLOR BANDING
And it looks worse only with X-Plane 11, my favorite flight simulator
Could you please, have a look at this short video ( recorded with nVidia GE ) ?
Can you see some weird clouds ?
