what would cause a video card to fail?
my computer screen is flickering slightly and the bottom half of the screen is a different color tint and lags when i move my curser.
could this be caused by a failing video card?|||overheating/broken fan. or it could just be a loose cable, or one with a bent pin|||It's probably overheating. Download MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, or Nvidia Control Monitor and check how hot the temperatures are getting while gaming. If it's 90*c + it's probably broken. Most GPUs can take 80*c for long periods of time, but it'll decrease the life by about a year or so.|||It could be that the video card has reached its limit. A little more information on make and model would help you more. Some problems would be a defect in the card, not enough power from the psu, bad drivers, or even not installing the gpu properly in the pci slots. *videocards dont have pins*
