Do you have v-sync on? If yes, disable it and retest.

saibot941 still exist
Make sure v-sync is disable inside the game and inside the nvidia control panel.

in-game there's no such option, so I directly jumped into nvidia control panel and done that.

Hmm. I'm 100% certain this is a nvidia driver issue. I experience the same issue in crysis 3. Disabling v-sync completely gets rid of the issue in crysis 3 for me. Re-enabling v-sync makes the issue come back. I've reproduced this issue like a million times and have reported it to nvidia.

You could try running the card in debug mode (#3)/underclocking the card as far as possible using msi afterburner (#4) to see if it helps correct the problem. I doubt it will help, but it's worth a shot.

well debug mode resolve the problem by a little, instead of those stretching textures I have now small dots "one or two at a time" ... v-sync is doing the same as debug, puting them both would add anything.. I think it is PSU issue, the card cannot fine enough power to operate at OC speed, I will test with another higher PSU then I will post the updates. Thanks @Sajin

I think I know how to fix your issue. Disable SSAO & make sure ambient occlusion is disable inside the nvidia control panel.

same issue, no changes, also turning the power limit up is not solving the problem anymore anyway, I will get other psu tomorrow and test with it again

I don't think a new psu is going to help. Does the issue look like what I'm experiencing in crysis 3?

Try underclocking the card as far as possible using msi afterburner to see if it helps stop the problem. Debug mode makes the card run at reference clocks. Time to try below reference clocks.

Core or memory or both?

So you're still getting artifacts even with the card underclocked all the way? Rebooting the machine will reset msi afterburner clock adjustments.

sorry i didn't explain it right the core clock downclocking automatically to 539mhz and stays at it until I restart the pc then it back to normal I was testing at different clocks when that happens and I still get the artifact after downclocking

I'm thinking this is a nvidia driver/game issue since you don't have any issues in mgsv and were able to play ds3 with a different gpu. Let us know if the replacement psu helps.

Changing the PSU didn't help Also I checked gta v.. And im getting the artifacts I tired 2 different drivers with clean install, nothing changed
I tried putting the gpu in different system still getting them
Could it be a hardware problem? Maybe the latest driver causes a brick to the hardware?

Something to note is that Dark souls 3 is horribly optimized at the moment for PC. I run it fine on my evga sc 970 though.
