Question RTX 3080 causing glitches/artifacts and black screen ?

Hello,
I have an asus strix 3080 10gb, which causes weird stuttering when loading into something, or randomly just idling. It also randomly causes black screens, which can sometimes be fixed by taking the cable out and in again, which causes windows to restart drivers. Temps are fine, on peak it runs with 75 degrees Celsius. I have not overclocked it or done anything like that.
Here's what it looks like:
My setup:
Motherboard: Asus rog b-450
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: ASUS STRIX RTX 3080 10GB
PSU: Corsair RM850w
RAM: 2x8gb Corsair RAM DDR4-3200
1 screen 144hz 2440p display port or hdmi, tried both


The things I already tried;
-Have tried other gpu which works fine, so it has to be gpu problem i guess
-Have tried other psu, no difference
- Used ddu to uninstall nvidia drivers and install 472.12 nvidia drivers from september 2021, which didn't change anything
- Updated the vbios of the gpu
- Opened it up and cleaned it
- reinstalled the newest drivers
- I also read that it has to do something with pcie wires and connection, but I use 2 different pcie cables, one connector of one and two of the other. Interchanged them, but no difference.

I don't really know where to go from here, have been searching but have not seen something like that, so thank you very much in advance :)

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time? As for the PSU, how old is the unit? Just curious, why are you working backwards? You should ideally be on 536.40.
My bad forgot to mention that, already tried updating it and then going back to stock, didn't change anything, but thank you :) To why I'm working backwards i don't have that much experience in fixing gpus, so I just tried out whatever I found in forums the last couple of days : )
 
Yeah that sounds like, then I saw the video, and looks like a faulty GPU. It's definitely some sort of hardware issue so it looks like a replacement is in order. I don't think this will help, but you could try limiting it to 75% power and see if that changes things at all.
