After a few years of heating to 80C and cooling to 20C over and over, the solder in cards can expand and contract enough to break connections; borking the card.
Heating it, an oven being the most convenient place, to the point at which the solder remelts, quite often gets it working again.
As per toxic fumes; if you burnt the card to a crisp in the oven, fair enough, cause for concern, but it comes out in working order or no worse than it went in; ain't nothing remotely serious going to be released- fumes probably on a level with being near a main road for five minutes at worst, doubt even that.

Where do you think they got rid of all the old supplies left over from the wars? It is a well known fact* that graphics card manufacturers have been secretly paid to hide it in there cards for quite a while now.
* facts may of may not be true. Truth values can go up as well as down. Your home may be at risk if you relay on a fact that is later proved to be b****x. Anything you say may be used against you. It is better to give that receive, particularly if it is an IOU.
