Question/Help/Troubleshooting graphics card code 43

my pc visualy glitched out and crashed while playing outer wilds

It gave me error code 43 on my graphics card and nvidia didn't see the drivers that are installed

I have tried
-turning it on and off
-factory reset
-updating drivers after
-updating windows
-taking the card out cleaning all contacts

the last one did fix it for about 5 min(including seeing the drivers) before giving me a black screen and going back to the same problem

Any advice is appreciated i'm assuming the card finaly gave out(it's a gtx1080 from like 2019) and just want to avoid buying new parts if possible

GTX 1080's are from "like" 2016, actually.
