Try reinstalling windows, if that doesn't work, different cable (I know that it sounds crazy because it only happens under load but you never know). However, if everything you try fails then it's likely a GPU defect that you never noticed when you got your GPU. Some 10 series cards are still in warranty so i'd check there first as far as replacing your card. Another suggestion of mine is to try using that old GPU as the only one in your system to see if you get the same effect.

Remember that you and I are human and we both make mistakes. If I say something you disagree with, you don't have to fight about it.

i cant try another cable since this is my only dp to hdmi cable, cant try both on old gpu because it doesnt have dp(only hdmi and vga) i will try reinstalling windows, will get back to you about it if it works, hopefully its not a gpu defect since my card is a 1080 that had 3 years of guarantee

Alright, keep me updated, I'll be curious to hear what the results are.
