Is my Graphics Card dying?

[Turtle_4]

Hi all,

I have a GTX 970m and just lately the rendering has gone to crap, the lag, stuttering\ Massive Fps drop is just unplayable, is there any remedy to this? I have tried reinstalling the drivers but that didn't work

Have you checked your systems temps? If not try installing a monitoring program and see what the temps are when this happens. If they are high, this could cause your issue. Then you will just need to determine the cause. Old thermal paste, bad fan, etc.

I left a game run for about 2 hours and the gpu/dcpu was around 61c

That isn't a bad temp if that is what you are getting during play.
