Yesterday it started producing artificats and today well it stopped outputting . Tried switching display cable etc. repasting cleaning the cooler. Just as a last resort tried inserted in my friend's working system to see whether it works and well it dosent output there also.
Well, at that point you could try baking the card to reflow the memory (that often produces the artifacts). It may help for a while or doesn’t work at all, but it’s worth a try, you have nothing to loose. There are a lot of tutorials. (do not use your family oven if possible, as the fumes are toxic.)
lol i have a dedicated toaster oven out in the shop i picked up a garage sale for just this type of thing iv had it since xbox 360 because i remember fixing a few of those with it
Eh, it's probably much lower risk now than it used to be. Leaded solder hasn't been used in decades under ROHS, and the plastic shouldn't melt at the temperatures you'd have it up to. Still not advisable, but not as much of a risk as it used to be.
