Possible issues with GPU? (Maybe, IDK)
I was talking with someone and they said they think my GPU is dying.

The issue is long to explain and only happens in this one game, so I'm skeptical. I'll link to the game hub where I made the initial post.

It's a graphical issue and I think it's the game's issue, not my hardware's. Other games seem to run just fine.

Do you think it's my GPU or something with the game? If it's not my GPU dying, then it's whatever. I just don't want my GPU to be gurgling for mercy on me.

I'm running Furmark and it seems fine, other games seem fine. What're your thoughts?

Is this something that happens to dying GPU's and I'm just unfamiliar with it? Is there a good way to stress test or test the GPU in isolation, beyond just, running a benchmark?

Check your vram with gpu z, or stress test vram using occt.
Or corrupted driver

Best way to test if a GPU is showing artefacts due to stress/wear is to under power it a bit and see if it goes away.
Take a 200MHz of the VRAM and core for example, turn the power maximum down to 90% and try that maybe.

Once had a GPU (Nvidia 6800GT) that started artefacting and to play games I had to take 5MHz of the core, as time wen't on it got more till it was 25MHz+ which at that point it was actual a drop in performance as they were only 350MHz clock speed, I did run it at 400MHz for ages though which made it a 6800 Ultra for a lot cheaper and that's what killed it.
