First of all to mods, i couldn't figure out the right place to post this so i decided to post in the GPU section because 'I Think' problem is maybe with my GPU. If its not in the correct section then please move it to the appropriate place.
My computer Specs:
Gigabyte Z370 Aourus Gaming 7 Mobo
Intel 8700k @ stock speeds
Zotec GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme
Corsair 16 GB DDR 4 @ XMP profile 3000 MHz
Corsair TX 750M PSU
8 3.5" HDD
2 SSD (1 sata 1 nvme)
1 soundcard (creative x-fi titanium)
1 PCI 4 port SATA card
Win 10 Pro latest edition (Always patched to latest version)
NVIDIA drivers always latest. Current version at the time of posting this topic is: 441.12
Ok so now to the problem which is making me pull my hair. I have been having this problem for quite some time now. So i am having this problem where my games would simply crash back to desk with no error code. I don't see any artifacts in games or any other abnormal graphics problem, just crash to desktop. It has been happening with every game but it wasn't so severe because i wasn't gaming excessively but with the release of RDR 2 i am playing it more and the crashes are severe. YES i know game has problems but my problem is that its not specific to RDR 2, it would happen to almost every game.
It happened in recently released "The Outer Worlds", Civilization VI in which i have over 500 hours and never crashed before also been crashing. Total War: Warhammer 2 you know it. Basically if its a 3D game and if i play it enough it will crash at some point.
This only happens in games, i could use my pc for web browsing/youtube/watching 4k videos all day and there won't be a problem.
Things i have already tried
Is there a utility which can REALLY stress my GPU so i could get a firm understanding if that's the culprit? It would suck if i have to replace GPU because my only option would be to get a 2080 Ti and i really don't have extra funds to get it right now.
I have posted memtest screenshot and a device manager screenshot to show what i have that might narrow down the problem for some of you geniuses.

Things i have already tried
- Run memtest, all 4 passes and 0 errors so we can rule out a bad RAM. Screenshot attached if you are interested.
- Monitor GPU Temps with HWMonitor and logging, the max GPU temp reaches during gaming Marathon's is 78C which is fine for GTX 1080 Ti AMP Extreme i think considering its one of the most over-clocked 1080 Ti out there.
- CPU temps are waaay within limits during games not reaching 70s
- Running Valley benchmark test for like 15 minutes. No artifacts or crash
- Using High performance power mode, ensuring Link state Power management setting is turned off in advanced settings.
- Tried all power settings in Nvidia control panel, adaptive/prefer maximum perfornamce.
