check your temps with Hardware Monitor:

Open Hardware Monitor - Core temp, fan speed and voltages in a free software gadget Warning: Undefined variable $cpage in /home/httpd/vhosts/openhardwaremonitor.org/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/openhardwaremonitor/header.php on line 18

upgrade your gpu driver.

my max temp was 81 celsius and driver are the latest

That's high. my gpu shuts my pc down when it reaches 70.
However I changed the thermal paste, used a different heatsink and now it never goes above 40. ok it's winter now. but anyways in summer it will stay well below 60.

was 81c your max under stress. will it go higher under heavier load? it's already high, so I'm skipping a gpu stress test.

how long have you been using it? if it's been 2 years, thermal paste have dried. change it with some good paste. Thermalright's TF8 is a Taiwanese brand that makes 13.8 wmk pastes. That's higher than Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut's 12.5 wmk.

81c is high. Specially in winter! so you'll be like 100 degrees in July.
My gpu was making funny colors on monitor too. Never happened after I changed its diapers. been working smoothly for 5~6 months.

so can be my gpu dying?

No, I'd change the thermal paste to keep the temps down. Hopefully that will solve the problem. If it doesn't, you're losing 0.5 gram of paste. But I would try.

I said I saw the same things on my monitor and turns out news of my gpu's death had been greatly exaggerated. It is alive.
