As already said, it is the GPU, RAM is looking like the culprit I am almost 99.9% sure of that, no problem, RMA and just wait for a replacement, sucks but what can you do?

Not sure of the exact action the OP is going to take but as suggested you should exchange or RMA the card.

Glad you got that resolved.
Sucks you had to go through that. I know personally. But it's now happened enough that I know it will get resolved.
No go and enjoy your card.
