If it has ran before with normal FPS, then maybe not the bios version is the problem.
But if there is a newer bios version, just update it.
Take the GPU's latest drivers.
Clean it, add additional coolers, and so on.

If this video card is used something like 5-6 or more years, maybe it is getting tired.
And if there have been environmental factors, such an improper humidity or weak building isolation from vibrations, or if it 's been hit or something, it may be the reason for it to be somewhat damaged for the 2-3 months u say. Also, if it's been used for mining or exceptionally having been exhausted for hard gaming...

Considering a new GPU is not a bad idea, though. Nowadays, video cards like 1650-Super and stronger ones are doing the 1080p-medium 60+ FPS job (or 45+ in non-optimized games). GTX 970 is getting old with itself being kinda' good, but still practically being a 3.5 GB GPU. Also RTX 2060 is performing very well...

Its old actually ,5 years , it probably hit the gpu , i remember this with the pc on and turn off , i smell something bad in gpu , but after this turn on and work.normal , but i came back and see , and here is the result , so probably damaged or.something , because i.didnt test it for a long.time , but the question , if its damaged , does it even.run? Or its faulty , or shock? Does it even show a display? Does it even run games? Thats the question and thanks.for.advance for the reply

Most times it really can run.
Just with the worse results, of course. Depending on the damage.

Well... maybe just something between gtx 1650 Super and RTX 2060.
And to keep it safer.
I will try to buy a new one , still 970 is a good one , but not very good compare to others , thank you for reply
