Multiple RTX 2080 TI graphic cards were tested for GPU performance drops after 1.5 years of hard GPU mining. These cards were ran hard for a year and a half and were tested for gaming performance drops against a brand new 2080 TI. YouTube channel Testing Games posted a new video to look into the matter. On average, the used mining 2080 Ti was about 10% slower than the brand new 2080 Ti. One outlier was Forza Horizon 4, which showed the mining card as 20% slower than the new card. One extra note is, the GPU thermal pads or paste were not replaced on the mining cards. This is could change the results drastically.
Summary
Interesting reduction of GPU performance after 1.5y of mining.
Quotes
My thoughts
This news is more definitely interesting. Can put thought into buying used GPU's or even the importance of card maintenance, thermal pads, paste or even fan health.
