Title, basically. My GPU is relatively "new" (3-4 years old) and unfortunately I seem to have gotten the short end of the stick back in 2021, when I ordered my desktop pc. Warranty is ofc long gone, however I found someone selling a deadstock (!) one for roughly 280 euros through a local fb group. I can cover 40 bucks myself but am 240 short and need to replace it asap, this pc is my workstation (for school/internship). The dying gpu in question is a rtx 2070 super, was having issues with 3D render for a while but things were working ok, 2 months ago I started getting BAD artifacts followed by extremely loud fan noise and black screen. Artifacts are everywhere, even in BIOS, and as I type this theres like, 2 thick bands of pixels accross my screen with fucked up colors. Tested my screen with a friends PC and it works fine on his machine, so the GPU def is dying, any 3D render I try makes my PC black screen. This is really, really bad because my CPU doesnt have integrated graphics so without a graphics card my PC is useless, for now I'm running renders through a friend's laptop but its a temporary solution...

The timing is awful as I currently have no income appart from state aid, and 40 bucks is all I have after paying rent+groceries, as for my internship, its one of those work for free schemes often found in the 3D/concept art industry. Any amount will help, I also have rich friends who might pitch in, idk how to handle this tbh, dms are open but its quite late so I might only answer tomorrow. basically if i get 200 bucks i can prob borrow the rest of a friend and get the replacement gpu, seller is very nice and has agreed to hold it for me for a week. I dont have a paypal or anything but I can set one up quickly if needed. hopefully i can pay you guys back over time, I'm just in a big fucking pinch right now and i feel so stupid for not trouble shooting my pc earlier, really living up to my username huh...

FIXED thanks to @plinky@hexbear.net 's great tips!!! I dont have to fork out a ridiculous amount of money for the forseeable future this is such a good com!
