Is my GPU dead?

[VirtualBlack]

I recently bought a used 1070 ti, but when i started to play, putting the GPU under heavy load, appeared some artifacts (red and green pixels) on the screen and then the PC completely freezed, i couldn’t exit from the game i was playing even with the Control + ALT + Delete key combination so i had to turn it off with the button.

 

I put a custom curve for the gpu fans in afterburner to keep the gpu cooler and now artifacts doesn’t appear but he PC freezes.

My PC spec list:

Intel i5 8400 (with stock cooler)

EVGA SC 1070 ti

Motherboard Gygabyte  H310M H

PSU EVGA 550 GD

evga has such a nice costumer service, ask them

 

but I'll do my work too

 

does that also happen on other ports, cables or monitors? have you tried uninstalling the drivers with ddu and reinstalling them from nvidia?

Have you checked the GPU in GPU-Z, things line clock speed, memory speed, voltages, see if it's had a Bios flash, articulating is common on cards which have been used for mining and a second hand 1070 ti, 

 

Then again it's also common on cards which are failing. what are the temps like? fans clocking up?

EVGA Has great customer service, Try reinstalling the driver. And download GPUZ and check everything. Might be a badbatch

I will try to get a refound but i am from Mexico so i don’t know if EVGA has support in my country 

I have read that artifacts are caused by overheating , maybe if i underclock it will solve

Dont underclock. That will make it perform worse.  They do have support in mexico.
