Long story short... I was in the main menu of a game and suddenly heard that windows sound when you unplug something, monitors went black, I can still hear the game and interact with the menu options. Rebooted PC and it's on but the monitors are still black. Tried plugging them out of the card and back in and monitors still black.

I'm not a massive expert, but did my card just die? It's an 8 month old GTX 2060 Super so that's a bummer.

Certainly one possibility. What exact PSU are you using with it? Eight months means you can still RMA it.
