Can I revive my GTX 560 TI?

[Aztec]

Hey I have a 2GB Asus GTX 560TI GPU. I was playing Battle Field One and it suddenly stopped, went to the desktop and I had lines going across my screen. Things wouldn't load up properly etc... I obviously restarted the computer and it was doing it in the BIOS and Windows so... my GPU is dying. I'm asking this because I have no money and I'm a student. (I'm in the process of looking for jobs don't worry). I've tried de assembling the GPU and using a hairdryer at max heat on the components as I've seen videos online saying if you heat it up, the metal should melt and that... etc... don't know much about that stuff but I understand how it works. I'm not willing to put it in the oven as thats where food goes and that... I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me! Thanks.

If it's dead put it in the bin, you can get a GTX 1050Ti 4GB that will destroy the 560Ti in nearly every situation.

Your V-ram probably went. Your best bet is to shop around for a new/used gpu. Think you got all the mileage out of that gpu.

Hey, yeah I have thanks. It was very dusty but it didn't seem to fix the problem unfortunately. I'm trying to turn down the clock speed but it's very difficult as things aernt loading properly and I can't see certain UI elements etc..

Ahh that's true, it is an old card. Do you have any good recommendations? I'm hoping to replace the motherboard, APU (yes apu) ram and GPU at some point but doesn't look like any time soon.

Here is a place that sells used cards. I have not used him myself but I have heard great things and his prices are competitive.

...Or spend like $20 more for an RX470 which blows it out of the water.

When your gpu # is half that of the current gpu line it would be prudent to just let. it. die.

The law of nvidia numbering determines your card a dead card (even if it still some how works)

May I ask is it future proof?

No GPU is future proof however it'll last for around 3-4 years.

Thanks! I appreciate it, sorry I should have mentioned I live in the UK. I could have a look around on Ebay or something.

I just meant in terms of future titles etc... but that's true.

Nothing is "future proof" [its a stupid term by the way]

Yeah it'll run them, much better than the 560Ti would do.

Most cards if used proper will last 5-15 years. So yeah your good.

I think I still have a 3dFx Voodoo 3 that still works and its 25years oldish ....
