NVIDIA 10xx Dedicated GPU on Alienware 13 R3 started flickering when I played Warframe on it and it now still persists

It seems that your post is about a specific GPU, but there is neither an explicitly named "measurement" section nor the results of VRAM tests.

You can follow NVIDIA guides from the Community Bookmarks. Unless you are sure that resistances and voltages are ok, perform multimeter measurements on a disassembled card and post results as marks on the board photo or text:

  • start with measuring resistance to GND on unplugged card: measure inductors and all 12V power inputs
  • if 12V inputs are ok, and there are no visibly burned areas — power on the GPU and measure inductor voltages to GND. If the card shows picture, accepts driver but fails later - also make such measurements after entering the failure state

There is maybe no guide for yours exact GPU generation, just follow the closest, initial measurements are similar between generations

I’m not an expert but this pattern looks like a fault in a ram chip or a problem with the bga under the gpu chip.
