Graphics Card Artifacts? RMA?

[Slaxc]

I built my PC with an asus strix Gtx 1080 a couple months ago. On my old Dell s2417dg I thought what I was seeing was color banding but after getting my new PG279Q and seeing similar stuff I’m a bit concerned. https://imgur.com/gallery/Rcet6

here is what I’m seeing, this is in GTA V. I get very bad color banding in the sky at night but this is definitely not color banding. I do believe it’s caused by my graphics card and I’d love to fix it without having to return it and wait 15 days to get a new one from ASUS. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Those don't look like artifacts, but then again, it's really hard to tell what they are...

I agree, I seriously don’t know what to do it and    Extremely annoying me. I’ll be driving down the road in GTA V and see this constant garbage looking gradient in the sky.

That sounds like it's a problem with the contrast on the monitor. Try changing some of those settings around.

Then change them to settings that work for you

turns out I didn’t have the RGB set to where it should be, I had 100/100/100 TFT had 97/93/100, I’ll see if this helps, if not I’ll adjust them to my liking

try setting the color to 4:4:4 FULL RGB in Radeon Settings under the display tab. After that make sure that your Monitor's Black Level is set to Normal instead of Low if it has that option.

Try changing the cable between your card and the monitor if possible just to try and rule out any possible issues with the cables.
