Possible GPU static damage?

I touched the back of the PCB on my graphics card. It is a Gigabyte Windforce 760. The displays shut off, and I hard booted. When I turned it back on, there was intensive artifacting, which looked like a broken DVI pin in one computer, with bits of the display showing through, and like Minecraft textures on the entire screen of the Dima's. Does anyone have any ideas? Dima suggested cooking, not sure about that for ESD? Any thoughts? Thanks.

PS: When I say "I", I mean Dima, send him many hate mails, his email is dimabobkovich@gmail.com.

Indeed. I will send it in for repair, I noticed "Acts of God" were under Gigabyte's allowed reasons for failure, so.... yeah. Anyways, thanks for the quick response.
