Hardware No, GTX 1080, you will not die today.
After 8 years of owning Gigabyte's GTX 1080, it started showing artifacts and black screens. I tried repasting it, changing the thermopads, cleaning it with IPA and reinstalling drivers - nothing helped. So I resorted to the forbidden technique of putting it in the oven and holy shit, how did that actually works!! Guess I'll be able to play FH6 on premiere day :D
Yes I have enabled XMP and cleaned the desk.
Edit: I am now cleaning thoroughly the oven, thank you for kind reminders!
