[Help] Is my gpu dying?

Hardware Hub GPU
1

Something weird happened with my graphics just recently. The main display started messing up as if the drivers had crashed or something. However, the secondary display kept working just fine. When I unplugged the main display, and the main screen was automatically switched to the secondary display, it started showing the same problem as the first one. It seems that whatever is set as the main display just messed up. I even tried using a different dvi port on the gpu, but to no avail. I restarted the computer only to find that the main display now flickered. I checked the gpu temp, and it was idling at 50C. I ramped the fans up and it got back down to 35C and everything stayed cool after that, so it seems while it heated up while it was freaking out before the restart. It is almost like I am watching it change frames or something. (I want to point out the the display itself is not messing up, as far as I can tell). So I uninstalled the drivers, restarted and it was still flickering. Installed the latest drivers and restarted and it was still flickering. I don't really know what to do at this point.

This is what the screen looked like while it was messing up.

Should I look at getting a new gpu or something?

I forgot to mention a few things. First, I my gpu is about a year and a half old, and I have had it overclocked almost the entire time while gaming. The gpu and vrm temps were always monitored and were kept in check with custom fan curves and a plethora of case fans (5 in an arc mini). It has always been powered by a Seasonic G650, so there was always plenty of clean power. And this psuedo driver crashing has happened a few times in the previous few weeks. In the pat, it would fix itself pretty quickly, so I never worried about it before, just assuming that the drivers were fucking up.

Overclocks can become unstable over time. Does this happen when it isn't overclocked?

Taht whole time, it was at 300mhz as I haven't gamed in a while. I don't see how the overclock would affect it then as the voltage was never messed with. It appears as though the flickering has mostly stopped though. I'm not sure why it has lessened.
