Sooo I recently over clocked my gpu and accidently turned all the setting up to high for a short period of time (30 seconds). After doing this my pc has been extremely slow and am getting 15 fps max at csgo. I substituted my gtx 1070 for a spare radeon 480 and my pc works fine. Is there a way to fix a damaged gpu

It's hard to say if it's damaged, but I actually suspect you just messed up the settings when you put them back together. As far as I know GPUs and CPUs are simple: they work or they don't. When it's dead it's dead. I have yet to meet or hear of a card that's "limping". HDDs and SSDs on the other hand have the property of "slowly dying out".

Do some benchmarks; if you system doesn't crash then: maybe you ruined the fans (do some temp checks) or you messed up the settings.
