Is this GPU dead ?

Soo. There is that one PC with 560ti which now doesnt work properly. It shows artefacts in windows. I think that it is strange that it works okkay in bios but in windows the video is like crap. Tried swapping gpu with 550ti and it works great. So can i make that 560ti work again somehow?

Nope...it is dying. Specially if it is artifacting in even videos. Time for a new GPU. WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

artifacts in the BIOS would indicate a hardware problem.

HOWEVER , artifacts in windows with drivers installed indicates a hardware OR software problem.

A lot of people forget that artifacts within windows and games can be related to drivers or software and that only if the gpu artifacts without drivers or in the bios then it's directly hardware related and usually means a non fixable situation.
