That pesky 4xxx series connector could, perhaps, have an issue with the older PSU?

The adapter comes with the card

Do you know the cause of death?

Most likely because of its age. The artifacts started in September together with sudden CTDs. Yesterday it just failed to start. The card was purchased in Jan-20, just before COVID started.

Before that I had 1080Ti that also lived slightly more than 3 years and literally blew with pretty loud bang, while I was flying in heavy clouds in P3d. I though that entire PC did die 😉 

hence, 4 years is realistic lifespan of GPU in terms of reliability I guess. Anything after is a lottery. Just my 5 cents.

EVGA Supernova 1000 G3. used to be a good brand 5 years ago.

I run this PSU on 2 systems. Once with a 3090 (Gaming Rig) and the other with a 4090 (Flightsim Rig). They are solid PSU.

Recently had the EVGA 850 G3 go bad on me after 7 years. Under the 10 year warranty I sent it to EVGA for RMA and they sent me back an 850 G5.

I've never had a graphics card fail on me in my 25+ years or running flight sims. Until last October I had a GTX780 running in a second computer for moving maps. That was bought in 2013 in a new PC and was fine for 5 years.

The 1080Ti supplied in my 2018 Chillblast was fine up to when my new computer arrived in October. It's now running moving map software.

I always run P3D at 30fps with VSync so the cards are never pushed that hard. I wonder if that extends their lives.

I had an EVGA Nvidia 560 Ti fail and it began to fail immediately.  I had just gotten it and its drivers installed when I started getting screen pixelation.  A reboot would solve the issue, but only for a short period of time.  The pixelation worsened and around the second week, I had to RMA the card.  It's replacement worked just fine and EVGA did a great job of standing behind their warranty.
