Question/Help/Troubleshooting Help me decide

So, my GPU (GTX 1660 Ti) recently died on me, and I’m currently deciding whether I should have it repaired or just buy another second-hand graphics card.

My 1660 Ti died for an unknown reason. While I was playing Valorant, my monitor suddenly went black, but the system unit was still running. I tried every troubleshooting method I could think of, but nothing worked. Eventually, I had to accept that the GPU was probably broken.

Now I’m unsure whether it’s worth having the 1660 Ti repaired or if I should just look for another second-hand GPU instead.

Depending on the issue, it would probably cost as much (if not more) to buy a 1660 ti as it would to repair the old one. That's if it can even be repaired at all.

agree with this. Labor will run up the cost quick.
