Question RX6800 completely fried?

[chiefkeefw]

Yesterday, I logged into fortnight (won't let me post with the actual game name) and after idling in the main lobby for 10 minutes I heard a pop sound, saw that the gpu light went out, fans stopped spinning and then the displays turned off. It got stuck in a bad boot loop and I was only able to shut down by turning off the psu.

Did some trouble shooting:
-PC boots and works on integrated graphics when gpu is removed
-no boot when putting gpu in different slot
-connected gpu to a seperate psu and jump started it, no fans, no light

Been having issues with this card for about 6 months now, started with the pc black screening and fans going crazy and had to force shut down. This only happened when playing that specific game, no other games. I fixed the issue by getting a new psu and everything was fine. Every other game works fine on high+ graphics settings.

Any ideas? Did I just slow cook it for the past 6 months? Is it worth trying to fix it or should I just get a new card or a new build since it's starting to get old? Had an rtx 2060 before hand.

Specs just in case:
Aorus z390 pro wifi
RX6800
Intel i9 9900k
32gb ram
Corsair rm850x

If you used something besides the RM850x listed above, what's the make, model and age of this PSU?

Corsair rm850x
How old is this unit and what did it power prior to the RX 6800? The rtx 2060?

You forgot to mention the make and model of your case and the number as well as the orientation of your fans in the case. Did your temps for the GPU seem high before the mishap?

Is it worth trying to fix it or should I just get a new card or a new build since it's starting to get old?
Only the folks at your repair center can tell you the extent of the damage and how much repair needs to be done. If it's memory, then you're better off buying a new card. If it's the power delivery componentry on the GPU's PCB, then a donor(for parts) GPU can help you out.

If your GPU's beyond it's warranty period, you could disassemble the card and start identifying anything that might've blown, burnt or tearing in half.
