- Image issues and glitches are a big red flag for a dying graphics card. Things like stutters, aliasing, and tearing our inability to render objects are a big sign to look out for across multiple media or during detailed content. We have all visited a glitchy site before, but if you’re noticing issues everywhere you go, it may be an indicator something is up with the GPU.
- Blocks, banding, and lines of colors that won’t go away are another sign that visual data was corrupted. This can sometimes be resolved with a reboot, but if it occurs often, this is a sign of impending failure.
- Overheating means your GPU is working in overtime. While they can withstand up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, regularly going above 175 could mean it’s ready to give out. Additionally, if your GPU fan is getting noisy even when you aren’t doing something that requires the effort or if it’s stopped running completely, your fan may be caput and your graphics card isn’t far behind!
