Issue with graphic card in predator helios 300 ph 315-51

Hi, I have a predator ph 315-51 with i5 8300h and 1060 nvidia gpu and 16 gb ram

for 1-2 days i was facing a issue that red dead redemption was giving an error gfx_error, Which is quite common error for that game. later I realized that i'm having graphical issue with other games as well. I ran a heavens benchmark test. and you can see the issues which i am facing. all the drivers are up to date and i even tried using older version of Nvidia but it didn't work. Also heavens benchmark started giving this issue only after i formatted the system, it was not giving any issue before the format, the issues remained for games only.

I have read on few forums that its a sign of GPU dying and some people were saying it could be issue related to power etc. Help would be much appreciated

You mentioned the problem started after formatting the system, have you try use the restore the system from a restore point? Also have you set up the GPU default for gaming?

Have tried a lot of things like system restore, updating/downgrading driver, manually setting Nvidia graphic card for games etc. nothing worked

Its a telltale sign of a dying GPU. How old is the laptop?
