Hello, lately i've been getting some weird artifacts (deformed texture lines) and crashes in games. My GPU is pretty old, a Gts 450. I use it for casual gaming, like CS:GO, World of Tanks and Rocket League. In CSGO i get some green artifacts and sometimes it crashes going me to the desktop. In Rocket League i get some frequent artifacts and lines and after 5-10 minutes the game crashes. The GPU and CPU temps are fine (around 40-60C),changed the thermal paste not long ago on the GPU so it's okay, i would assume the VRAM is dying, since it's an old card. For some that ask me why i still use this GPU is because i rarely do gaming and the prices of hardware is pretty expensive in my region (east Europe). I never did overclocking and i want to surely know from you guys that my card is dying or it's from another problem.
OS is Windows 10
Drivers are the latest since fermi was discontinued.
