Failing GPU

I'm pretty certain my MSI GTX 1080 is on in it's way out, I get regular crashing during games unless I underclock it, have artefacts when running at 144hz, pretty sure it's the GPU.

Do I have any options aside from buying a new one because it's out of warranty? MSI's support said to contact Amazon but I bought it second hand so I only have access to an invoice.

 

Thanks

can you check your temps are they stable?

also are you providing sufficient power from your power supply?

Yeah the temps are fine, I recently replaced the thermal paste so that's all okay.

I'm just assuming the card is getting enough power, I have a 750w psu, I suppose I could plug the 6+8 pin connectors on another power supply to try
