GPU LIFE EXPECTANCY HELP

How long will a 1660 last (IN LIFE YEARS...NOT GAMING YEARS)if i do some gaming (not too often) and some amount of 1080p video editing?

 

I recently got an offer from asus for a pc which costs 800 dollars...they gave me two models...

 

a ryzen 7 2700 with a gtx 1660 ti (6gb)

 

and 

 

a ryzen 5 3400G with a gtx 1650 ti (4gb)

 

i am really confused which to buy.....there is not much performance difference between the 2700 and the 3400g...but the 3400g has an integrated graphics card 

 

the thing is this is my first time i am buying a PC with dedicated graphics card and i am not sure how long will the GPU last in terms of life....thats why i prefer a pc with an integrated gpu...just to be on the safe side

 

if a dedicated gpu like the 1660 will die in like 6 years then i would go for the 3400g...or if it can last around 8-10 years with the above usage i would go for the 2700 and upgrade the cpu later on

 

pls help

bro gpus don't die out of nowhere, i really have no idea where you heard something like that but its not true

gaming system: Intel core I9 12900ks / biostar Z690A valkyrie / 4x8gb corsair Vengeance @3333Mhz ram / RX 7900XTX pulse gpu / Thermalright peerless assassin 140 /Coolermaster Qube 500 case / Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 12 1500w power supply

Yes, gpus don't just randomly go belly up. Technically they will last forever, I've got GPUs from 1994 that still work fine. If you treat it well you can expect 10+ years from a card. The cards I currently use in my build are Quadros from 2014 and they still run and render fine.

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

i only had dedicated gpus in laptops before....most of those laptops were 5 years old before the dedicated GPUs started failing.....the temps were below 80c at high loads

ok thanks!!!

 

btw what are the safe temps for a gpu for it to last for 10 years??

Mid 70s to low 80s

so i thing the 2700 with the 1660 would be a great choice

Yep, that would be good

I don't think there are a Exact time a GPU can die, I mean I got a GPU that is from 2012 and Just work fine even to this these day, I can boot it up, Play some game on it, And no artifact, Regarding this GPU is used for about 9 Years...

 

But for the record, A GPU can live almost forever as long the GPU it self still exist. And not destroyed. It's not about the GPU lifespan, The GPU it self can indeed failing when it showing their age. But in theory it still can be fixed by some monstrosity

1 in 10 of my GPUs die in the first 3 years of use.  All were RMAed.

 

I usually put them in charity builds(vocational training) or give them to friends and family after 3 years so I can keep track of them. The PCs usually get retired before the GPUs die. 

So if they survive the first 3 years they just keep on going.

 

I have 10 year old and older cards and they need adapters(DVI and mini HDMI) to run on modern monitors. It may be the same 10 years from now.

this gives me some faith to go for just a dedicated gpu without any hesitations

ya...ik...dead gpu can be fixed...i fixed one of my ATI RADEON HD 4000 SERIES GPU BY PUTTING IT IN DA MICROWAVE...it worked for a while then died again
