By the sounds of it, the card is fine but there is problems somewhere. After trying a clean driver install with DDU and it still persists, I would try a fresh windows install. It could be something dragging your system down and to save a fortune in time and hair, a clean windows will often solve the issue.

New GTX 1080Ti slows down afer 5 minutes

After reading what you have written what is the load on the GPU whilst that particular benchmark is running ?
Not just the load but also the core clock.
You could also note your temps.
It would be interesting to see if the GPU is throttling when consecutive tests are being done.
Those values can be graphed and then looked at They can also be displayed as the benchmark is running.
My 1080Ti typically stays at over 2000mhz core consistently. Throttling is not an issue for me.

Or even run GPUZ and watch to see if a throttle reason is listed, e.g. Power or Thermal
You need to run monitoring software to see what's happening with the gpu and cpu. What's the temp reaching on the card under heavy load, what's the temp limit set at, fan profile, power limit etc
The core clock of the card should drop slowly over time due to heat and once bottomed out at a certain mhz you should never see it go lower, bar maybe on a very hot day after a few hours. Should drop only around 50mhz ish depending on the clocks and temperature.
As others have said, if all this checks out on the software and you know your CPU is good then clean install windows. Doubt it's RAM or Vram or the board. You should think about changing your psu anyway at 5 years unless it's a good quality make and silver/gold rated or higher. Peace of mind.

good point
I forget about that one as I no longer need it.
I just tend to have information like this...
at a keypress as I know that Ti1080 will be thermally restricted.

Which model is that T.Kay? What graphics card was it replacing?
It was a SC2 from EVGA, and it replaced my Intel UHD 630 gpu. I'm going to return it on Monday.

Probably a waste of time but try underclocking it, I had a GTX275 that did a similar thing unless the memory was underclocked a little
Yeah, but the card is rated for those clocks so it should be able to run at those speeds.

yes it should but it would go somewhere as to finding the problem.
I gave the GTX 275 a bit more power that also sorted it
If it proves that the card will not run at advertised speeds then that is
ammo for a refund or exchange

i had a similar issue with my 1080 ti ftw3 a while ago, but instead of dropping performance the card just stopped working, rma'd back to evga and was sent a replacment, upon installing it i found the problem persisted but insted of running a second card into the ground i found the solution to be my pci expess cables i was using, i had a single 8 pin splitter cable plugged in and with help figured out the card was pulling too much current via that cable, luckly i had two seprate 8 pin cables to try and when i swapped over the card was fine and performace was epic again. A while later i noticed my psu voltages were a bit flaky so i bought a new psu and everythings been fine.
if you can downlaod hwmoniter and keep an eye on psu voltages, also near the bottom of the program you'll have a tab devoted to your gpu it will show pwr consumtion and load on gpu, ram, frame buffer etc and most importantly the temp of card at load.
if your card is being used to 100% and your getting poor performance check the psu voltages 12v, 5v and 3.3v they should be all within 10% +/- if they are too low or high then it can cause all sorts of strange things to occour and in the case that the psu is bad look at getting a replacment someware in the 750w mark will be good with a strong 12v rail (90 - 100+ amps range)

Great points there
IIRC the ATX specs show 5% tolerance on the 12v rail, so 11.4v to 12.6v.
Not possible to measure the ripple tho with HWinfo.
When I was having issues with my PSU it was dropping as low as 11.1v when under GPU load. When the CPU load was high that alone was not enough to cause me problems.
I have just replaced my PSU with a Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750w, all is fine now.
The max Amps of a 750w PSU is around 62.
My PSU pulls as much as just over 400w when the GPU is maxed, 1080Ti
Probably OTT but hopefully it should last beyond it's 12 years warranty.

LOL when it comes to your psu never skimp out on it i have a corsair hx 850w platinum psu at the moment set to single rail mode as my 1080 ti and 7900x are both overclocked, my psu is able to deliver 70amps via the 12v rail which is very important when overclocking, going back to my earlier point i said around 90-100 amps would be needed i may have been a bit ambisious with that so apologies for that anything above 50 amps should be good but it doesnt hurt to aim for the max.
It was my Corsair Hx850 that needed to be changed, it was bought around 2009 IIRC.
A PSU is kinda divisive in opinions on what to buy.
What I mean is that there are those who frown upon buying one with a much larger margin than needed and then the others who like to buy a larger wattage supply believing that to be for the best.
I'm inclined to lean towards the larger than needed supply.
With that in mind my 6700k at 4.7ghz and the overclocked 1080Ti just manages to draw just over 400w at most, less than 35 Amps.
I do like the Hybrid mode on this Seasonic as it means when in use the fan does not come on, at least it hasn't so far even when using the max that my system draws.

NVIDIA throttle this test, so that would be a monumental waste of time.
To the OP, is this happening just in Futuremark tests or in other games, too? Sounds to me like you might be chasing a red herring. Run the Firestrike stress test and upload the results.
