Kane99 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I don't know if it's possible for a game to brick or cause damage to a GPU, but is it possible? I mostly play games on my PC these days and I'm always paranoid about my PC getting damaged. I always put the settings for games at the lowest it can go, and that saves me some worry. But has a game ever destroyed your GPU? Maybe it was an older gaming PC and you played something newer to the point your GPU overheated maybe? Do you have worries about your GPU going like that?

killamch89 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Not at all - I push mine to the max settings. However, I don't overclock them because that'll drastically decrease the lifespan of a graphics card. I got my hands on a 7900XT in December and it has a lot of serious power.

Lens Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Yes, it's happened to me once. That’s when I know it's possible for a game to cause GPU damage, although it's very rare. Mine occurred during Intensive gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I found monitoring the temperatures useful to avoid damage to the GPU. It hasn't happened to me but I've seen cases where games with poorly optimized graphics caused GPUs to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
