My guess is maybe 4.3v might not be enough to murder the graphics chip. Now 12v for sure. On the 980ti 12v even many times will not kill the graphics chip. These newer cards however have much smaller traces so depending on what year this card is from it may live through 4.3v. The only way to tell is to change the faulty chip and try it. This card may well work again. Use your best soldering skills with lots of 959 flux and she might work just fine. Lets see pex should be 1.0 volts, vcc 850 or so and memory 1.3. My guess is the 1.8v rail has malfunctioned. But you are probably right as an ohm reading of 1.0 is a dead short so the core may still live because it shorted before vcc. If you try a 5v buck converter that outputs 1.0v will work just fine if high enough flow is carried. So exactly the same chip might not be sold.
Thanks for the comment :) The core is shorted so was lifted from the baord and I fixed the PEX rail so it now outputs the correct 1V. I'm on a lookout for a replacement core, unfortunatelly only found cores to buy from China, and they want over $100 for one - which is more or less the entire cards worth (no to mention it may be DOA). I recently bought a 1070Ti card for but could nnot use the core as it was too good! th-cam.com/video/QfHbEsH9kSc/w-d-xo.html
