Has my graphics card died?

Hi, I hope this is in the right place.

A couple of weeks ago my graphics card (MSI R9 270x gaming) started playing up. When I boot up the screen goes black most of the time and nothing happens, the times that I see something it's a bit scrambled but eventually goes black and can't see anything. I've been using the onboard display and have had no problems with that. I've tried rolling back the drivers and every time I go to reinstall drivers they start to install and either fail or I just get a black screen again.

Is there anything else I can try? Or am I resigned to having to get a new card?

Thanks
