[SOLVED] Is my gpu going dead?

[liso4ka lol]

Hello sorry for any grammar mistakes i suck at English.
Today i was playing apex legends when i saw some textures bugging but not in a bug way they became really weird colored by 3 line of blue red and green. I instantly closed the game and rebooted my pc because i know that this could be my gpu artifacting even tho i played apex in the morning for about 2hours and i didnt get that problem but iv noticed a weird fan noise from my pc but im not sure if its the gpu because iv been so used to playing music while powering pc on that im not sure if its standart.Anyways i played a bit of r6s after reboot no problem. My question is i will soon switch gpus but if i dont pressure the gpu too hard will it continue to degrade or would it not be a problem. ? And could this be a driver issue as i have my nvidia bugged with error 000x03 and im too lazy to fix is so i havent download new drivers for about half an year so could it be a driver issue or even a game issue

First, I would install the latest driver (to get that out of the way).
Second, I think that if it really is the card failing, that "taking it easy on it" may buy you some time.

what is the temperature of the gpu on idle and on 100% run furmark and gpu z and tell me what is the temps also install the latest drivers before doing that

I will try that as soon as possible will changing thermal paste fix it or its already too late?

Hey just a quick question i will be running temps in a sec but iv noticed that the weird noise comes from my harddisk its really old but i always forget to buy a new one could it this artifact be appearing because of hard disk and it appeard only once in apex yesterday

 

[liso4ka lol]

Ok when you do it tell me the temps

I ran furmark max temp that i reached was 65c but my gpu fans got quite loud i guess thats normal tho and i havent changed the thermal paste yet.

well that temps are pretty normal , and hard drives noise is normal too

i suggest changing the cable which are using buy a new one and see if the blue lines is still there
