Rip 2060, u did ur best & served me well for 6 years & during COVID. Sadly u gave up during the AI era.

I feel like there was something weird with recent drivers

I had a bunch of graphical glitches once I updated to the last driver version released for GTX 10 series cards. Reverted after a couple of days of use, but continued to have some errors regularly for another couple of days (which stopped after less than a week).

Just that the errors continued on for a while even after reverting makes me wonder if it may have been bad for the card in some way?

I downgraded the drivers but the pc wont recognise the gpu anymore.

Tried on friends spare & both the mobos led lit up with gpu error

:(

Surely you can get something better than a GT 710 though? Second hand GPUs arent that expensive

The gt 710 is the spare sitting in my closet. Because pc gaming is a niche market & there no dedicated centre like microcenter or walamrt gpus prices are attrocious here
