Can A Trojan Virus be Spread by a Video Card?

[xEndeavour]

Hey guys. So I have a computer I build with a GTX 750, and the computer ended up getting a Trojan virus.

If I transfer the 750 over to a new computer is there a chance of that virus spreading to the new computer via the video card?

No. Viruses propagate with infected files, usually on USB keys or over the network. As long as you aren't moving a hard drive over you should be fine.
Get a virus scanner on the new PC early. AVG has a free edition and there are others available.

No - virus' don't reside on your video card. The virus will be on your hard drive. Use Avast and Malwarebytes to get rid of it.

100% Absolutely not.
