Can Modern Graphics Cards get dameged from Overclocking when using stock bios?

GTX 970 is Dieing

they only get damaged if you pump too much voltage into the GPU and stress the components to the point of failure

[luegnicl]

is this possible with stock bios?

No

Never saw it happening, Stock bios SHOULD be safe. Try to RMA.

Even if you break your GPU because of too much overclocking, nvidia can't prove that you were acctually overclocking.

And at stock bios you are pretty much safe. If you OC it too much it will just crash and that's all.

The card is officially dead. I get back approximately 250€. What card should i buy. I am living in germany. Please take in  account  that i allready own a freesynch monitor. Thats not heavily necesary that you say that i have to geht a AMD card but just think about it.

FreeSync monitor with about 250 European moneys.

 

8GB RX480. If you can have some more money saved up an XFX RX480 GTR is the top card to get. Otherwise there's the XFX RX480 RS or an MSI card.

The Power Color model is known for having sub-par VRM (the power delivery system) so I wouldn't recommend it.

That's a stock blower cooler. It's loud as balls and doesn't unlock the full potential of an RX480. That PCB is also a reference design. It's ok, but nothing more than that.

 

I recommend this:

It's €30 more than the € 250 you get for your 970 but it's so worth it. 1450 MHz should be easy for this card.
