Have i damaged my GPU?

[RS2007GOD]

Ive been running my 750ti ftw edition pretty heavily overclocked to 1500mhz  and a +400mhz on the memory for the last 6 months without any problems. have not seen temps beyond 72celsius under stress test. but recently over the past few weeks somtimes when i start a game like league or elder scrolls, i have about a 3/4 inch deadzone strip of rgb colours running from the top left to the bottom left of my screen. it usualy disopears or a game client restart fixes it. Doesnt matter which driver is installed as have tried a few different ones and i usually run 355/58 version if i remember right.

 

Basicly im upgrading soon but wondering if anyone has seen this before and weather or not it may be a monitor/cable issue or card?

 

Hoping to sell this and get some cash back to cover some upgrade costs.

I'll assume you've checked your cable connections to see if they are fully connected and just skip that step. Best thing to start with is trying different cables if you have the appropriate ones, trying another monitor is also a good way to try things out if you have one of any kind that you can hook up to your system. Also have you tried running your card at stock clocks during your gaming sessions to see if it happens when the card is not OC'd?

If it happens when a particular game is loaded, yes, it is probably your GPU AFAIK.

have you seen this problem before? its not a particular game but its basiclly every game, desktop/ browsing etc is fine

I know the card has an OC but did you up the voltage as well for the OC?

try putting everything back to stock clocks, volts and see if that removes the issue.

i have not got any other monitor or cables handy but can test at a friends next time im over there. yes ive checked the cables are connected etc. and yes running stock overclock produces same problem sorry should have mention that. also i had in the past been playing around with the kboost feature for benchmarks and some gaming in evga precision x.

power target in unable to go over 100% i may in the past have played around with voltage but in general no i left that stock.

Imo test the system at your friends house, while you're over there test the other outputs on the card if they have the appropriate cables/converters. You might have an output dying rather than the whole card.

The likelihood of the card being damaged if there is no overvoltage and it is running at good temps is very low, I would bet that there is something else going on not with the card, possibly a connector, maybe drivers or the display, there are a lot of possibilities but I don't think the card itself being damaged from OC is one.

alright this sounds promising, ill try get it test at friends in the next few days and let you know. fingers crossed, id feel stink trying sell a damage card as working
