Can Roblox Break your GPU?

[GnarlyAnima]

Ok so recently my PC's GTX 1060 6GB broke and I don't know how since I've been grounded for weeks and I've only been on it yesterday and 2 days before.

It started freezing when I just got back from getting grounded after playing CSGO but it would still be able to keep up with Roblox but today my Brother said it just got worse to a point Windows had to disable the GPU (Error 43) and my screen started to get green pixels.

 

So I'm here getting blamed for breaking it. I do play Roblox alot like my PC time  is like around 12 PM to 8 PM. Discord, Spotify and Blender are the only stuff that I open when I use my PC and Roblox doesn't really use much of your GPU cuz I checked that it mostly uses your CPU instead. And when I look at task manager it's most likely that my CPU would break instead if it was of Roblox cuz it uses the CPU alot. 

 

The stuff I do on Blender are simple stuff like weapon making. I don't have it on render mode, I keep it on the mode where everything is just a plain color (which is lower graphics than Roblox.)

 

Also my brother can use the PC anytime he wants since hes older than me and he pretty much owns it and he uses the PC to do stuff like video editing. Today he told me that it was broken after he used it when I headed to sleep yesterday. So I checked and it became worse than before to a point it had screen malfunctions like weird pixels and green pixels on my monitor.

 

For a fact I know I didn't do it because it started freezing when I played CSGO 2 days ago after weeks of being grounded and not being able to use my PC.

Have you tried running DDU and reinstalling the graphics drivers?

Yeah I used DDU to reinstall the drivers(Going through safe mode and all that) but nothing happened.

Roblox isn’t going to break a gpu, it’s capped at 60fps for physics related reasons and barely utilizes the gpu anyway unless you’re running TFIB studio beta versions or something with the gpu accelerated lighting.

Have you ruled out connectivity faults yet? Remove the card, plug it back in, try different video outputs on the card and different inputs on the monitor. 

The only stuff I messed with Graphics settings for the GPU is making it focus on Performance instead of Quality

 

And I gave that a try but I didn't really put effort into it since I don't know what to do cuz it's a prebuilt PC but I'll give it a try again

Yeah it defiantly not because of Roblox you can rule that out. Along with the other pointers you should check temperatures during a stress test and turn off any overclocks you got.

No, unless your overclocking your GPU increasing voltage theres almost no chance for anything virtual to harm your GPU. Often times this can be either a driver issue or PSU issue as stated before. If I remember correctly you said this was a pre-built yes? If so to save money, OEM companies tend to cheap out on important compents like the PSU. If they did you GPU could be having power delivery issue which can be a cause of the Error 43 hardware failure. The only other things you could do is to try and reseat the card in case the connection has come loose with the PCIe slot.
