Did my GPU just die on me?

So, my daughter was just watching YouTube when this happened:

So, do you reckon my GPU has just died on me? It displays that during the POST and at all times now. I've opened the case and tried reseating it to no avail. Unplugged and recabled everything and still the same.

I bought my "Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card" in Jan 2011, so I'm presuming it's out of warranty :(

We can't see the link and also we have to be members of that site to see it. Use something like tinypic.com to post screenshots, that way we can see them.
 
try using the igpu, if everything works, then you have your answer

edit: oh yeah, try a different pci-e slot too (and a different video output)
 
I would suggest yes, and as the motherboard does not have any DVI/VGA ports the only way to test is to replace the card.
 
I had same exactly white lines all over screen back in 2013 with EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB after played Rise of the Triads for hours then quitted to desktop and saw a white dots line on desktop, I shutdown PC but 1 hour later I powered on PC and saw white lines all over screen. Glad it was under warranty, I Advanced RMAed it to EVGA and received replacement in 3 days, replacement worked fine and send back faulty one.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card has 3 years warranty, you bought it back in January 2011 so now it out of warranty. :(

So GTX 560Ti OC equivalent replacement card would be GTX 750 OC for £80 then OC the hell out of it that will be much better than 260X. :)
 
Well, it was definitely the GPU that died. My friend kindly donated a 9800GTX which has at least got me back up running, however, I was just about to buy Final Fantasy XIII and GTAV (Upon release). So, I'll still need to save up for a 750Ti which appears to be the cost and performance equivalent to my 560Ti as I very much doubt the 9800GTX will fair well with those 2 graphical beasts! It's just too bad that EVGA don't do 10 year warranties anymore, but I guess they learnt from BFG's failure!

Geforce 9800 GTX is 58% slower than both GTX 560 Ti and 750 Ti.

My old EVGA GTX 470 SC had 10 years warranty so they now reduced warranty to 3 years few years ago but they also offered optional extended warranty for 5 or 10 years for a small fee. If you had bought EVGA GTX 560Ti 3 years ago and extended warranty to 5 years would cost you just £6 or 10 years for £12 so you probably would chose £12 and had a replacement by now, saved you from spend around another £150 for new card.
 
My GTX 560 started doing this last week, I took it out and the problem immediately ceased. I had an old laptop with a 8800m card a few years ago that failed in the exact same way.

The 560 lasted about 2 1/2 years before it happened, so it seems to be the lifetime of these cards.
