I am not an official for PC hardware repair
Then you cannot speak for the entire industry by claiming "only those were better cooled" and thus lasted longer
It was a plague.
Even plagues are limited.
IF it was an Exaggerated Problem Stemming from one press Source as you say
Then how come Nvidia issued itself and through its partners a replacement/repair program
:( Did you read what I said? I NEVER denied there was a problem. Neither did NVIDIA. In fact, NVIDIA received praise for how they handled it.

But note NVIDIA did not issue a total recall of all products in that series. Why? Because not all were bad.

Come on guys! Let's be real and not argue for the sake of arguing. If this 10 year old card is failing now, it is because the card is 10 years old! Not because of some design flaw or component choice from 10 years ago.

If the lines on the monitor appear no matter what computer it is connected to, the problem is in the monitor.
