I feel that way about my GPU for normal gaming use. Now I’m afraid of it dying on me.

I don't really care about gaming, but there's a PC I got for free a while back with a 2060ti that overheats if I don't peg the fans at 100% and keep the case open. Would be nice if that holds on.

I’m currently hoping that my Intel Arc B580 doesn’t die on me cause even a 5060 Ti 16 GB has reached like 700 EUR price over here. I don’t think the prices will get better anytime soon.

Same with my M1 Air for being on the move, even notebooks would be more expensive than they’re worth.

Consider underclocking/undervolt it a little, especially if you aren’t using the GPU to its full potential.

It will last longer and hopefully the GPU prices will recover in a few years.

I hope
