Hehe, but the old myth that graphics cards degrade if you use them is a myth. I think Linus Tech Tips did a video on this and an older one. Sad that your GPU is flickering now, but probably unrelated and had happened either way at some point.
Yeah, it was probably a coincidence you're right. So far I've not been able to justify the expense of something equivalent to the 2080ti. I just live with the flicker whenever I work on my Linux desktop. Which isn't often, too much work and not enough brain.
If you have any interest in fixing the flicker, start by trying a different cable.
I didn't know that could be an issue! I'll see if I've got another displayport cable, thank you!
I've also once solved a flicker by resetting my CMOS and then doing DDU - chances are slim but it's worth a shot along with the cable
