Well, accuracy is still important on a larger scale. Remember that it's software that depends on hardware sensors. Sensors can be faulty. It's possible that the driver reads nonsense from the hardware, or the hardware sensors deliver such unrealistic/wrong readings. But it's also quite possible that the readings are correct and there is a problem. Just wanted to make that clear.
Not sure what you've tried already to diagnose this issue, but I recommend the usual things:
- confirm the readings with other programs, e.g. HWMonitor
- install older and/or newer graphics drivers (only one at a time of course
)
- and swap components one by one (PSU, GPU).
- (optional) reinstall Windows to determine if it's a driver issue not covered by the above

This is a brand new build (1 week now) issue since build. I ran DDU and re-installed nvidia drivers. Removed, re-installed and inspected GPU and cables and connector pins to PSU. Changed port on PSU. Tried many other setting changes in nvidia control panel.
If I install CRU and modify settings per this link it patches the issue. It's very puzzling because I lean towards faulty hardware especially GPU which seems to be verified with above hwinfo data and full log in my other post.
In my review of this monitor I mentioned the issues regarding G-Sync on 10-series NVIDIA gpu’s like my 1080Ti. While running games or apps with highly fluctuating framerates or dropping below…

CRU is an EDID modifier which I believe phantom images my monitor capabilities to my GPU.
Since CRU modified settings "fix" the issue I'd have to say it's firmware or driver related - monitor - gpu - windows 10 pro...
Remember my post that was deleted about Generic Log Viewer crashing my PC?
That happened because during troubleshooting I somehow dropped the CRU settings. Once I re-applied CRU GLV (and all else) has operated fine. This has only happened web browsing or youtube video watching.
Can an EDID modifier mask faulty hardware? Maybe but I wouldn't think so.
Any input on that would be appreciated...
