First of all, that card is very weak by todays standards. Doesnt mean, it should not be able to play that game, but depends on how long you been using it.
You need to start by updating your drivers.

Its a possibility. But a faulty driver cannot burn the card entirely. Age however is a more distinct catalyst.

The reason I ask is even if game is torrented that probably didn’t burn it either?

Cuz recently Avengers game will be coming out & I’m wondering if I should get it on steam on my PC or console

Torrenting games is a good way to get malware/viruses and break other things along the way.

Tom's Hardware does not support any form of software piracy. None. Period.
