Is it dead?

Repaste it and try it out. Because of thermal throttling, the GPU should not have died at all. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

It looks alright in the picture?

Because I suddenly bumped on a post which said if you scratch the gpu dye its broken

Yeah you aren't supposed to give the die a deep scratch, but a itty bitty scratch is OK. Overclocks literally rub off the top like .5 mm of the die to make temperatures better for extreme OC, like were talking negative 140 C. 

 

A good thermal paste application will patch fill in any microscopic gash left by a scratch. 

 

But ofc, do a even paste spread and reassemble the card with all the thermal pads on the memory and VRM, and try again. You might be pleasantly surprised.

When I checked the die, half a mm is literally half of the dies height, it means I am kinda safe yeah?

Should be. Apply a good bit of thermal paste (too much doesn't hurt too little does) and make sure it's a bit spread out to start. Then rebuild the card and plug it in.
