Need troubleshooting help!! GPU upgrade

Hello everyone! 

I have no idea where else to turn, I formerly had an EVGA GTX 1060 6 gb, and wanted to upgrade to the 1080 TI... so I did just that. However, after installation... things took a turn for the worse. first lets get this out of the way:

 

Current rig:

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti

I7-7700k @4.4hz (stable)

16GB of ram

1080p monitor (for now until I get the 4k)

1500w PSU

64 bit Windows 10

 

So: Here is what happens, for example I will start Battlefield 1 to test new GPUs typically. So I set everything all the way up, no memory restriction, 200 percent render scale etc. At first everything is incredibly smooth and satisfying, then the frame rate slowly creeps down from 75 to 50 to 30 to 20 to 15 then it stays there. or gets worse (this happens in about 5 mins) The game does this on DX11 or DX12 mode. (not that DX12 works well on that game). I figure ok I will try other games. The exact same thing has happened in every single one of these games: No Man's Sky, Skyrim,. Crysis 3, Battlefront 2, even easy ones like Earth Defense force do this. Even taking these games down to 720p doesn't change a thing.

 

Things I have tried:

I have already used the DDU to undo completely all of the old drivers and the like with fresh ones. Twice.

switching the placement on the motherboard. Didn't change anything.

Using the Gigabye OC software and monitor. Trying the different modes didn't change anything.

 

So I am getting desperate here. I hope someone can help!

What are your temperatures at? Decreasing performance over time is generally a sign of high temperatures.

your GPU is throttling hard, and it's reaching 90C, and also check CPU temperatures because it might be throttling as well.

it says the Fan Speed is at 0, are you sure the GPU fans are working?
