2015 Macbook Pro Retina a1398 gpu failure

I’d like to ask if anyone seen this kind of damage to a chip before. Is it possible for this type of damage to occur from normal use ??

2019 16" Macbook Pro Potential GPU Failure? Hello! This morning, my display suddenly started artifacting, as shown by the attached picture. The screen was not changing, it just suddenly switched to the screen in the photo. I was not doing anything graphically intensive, and I found this quite strange and it gave me flashbacks to my old 2011 15" pro. Is this anything to be worried about, or it is just a driver issue or something software related? Thanks in advance, Andrew

Yellow Line on Screen A verticle yellow line just randomly appeared on my screen. I have a 27" 2020 iMac. I got the thing in December so I'm more than a bit frustrated by this. I'm guessing my GPU is failing, but am unsure. Does anyone know what's going on?

Strange GPU events I am wondering if my GPU is going bad. I have never seen the screen anomalies in my 40 years of using Apple porducts. I have had GPUs go bad with streaks, etc. This computer is a top of the line 2013 15” MBP retina, 2.6GHz i7, 1TB HD… It has the VIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB separate GPU and the internal Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. Screen magnification jumped up and down, ending up large in Safari. Had to restart Safari to clear. In CAD, the view may jump from left to right isometric, or any other setting. Sometimes screen refresh seems to halt (not because of CAD) . Sometimes line width jumps up or down. Sometimes Safari will not open/show a page, such as the home page (an internal file). I get a blank screen, sometimes with a message “couldn’t find file”, or equiv. Has happened on Safari start up. Apple support (different problem) during screen share said he could see the splash screen of a different app fading away. One I had Quit just before. I couldn’t see it on my screen. Is what I am seeing another way the GPU(s) can go bad? Other than this, the machine works great, but I am afraid the end may be near.
