A 3-4 month old GPU is still like brand new if you are mining at the right conditions. Are you not overclocking too much? Are you keeping your GPU undervolted? Are you making sure that the temperature is below 65 degrees?

Personally, my GPUs have been mining for 1 year and 4 months without problem. Some of them i even bought second hand.

Why you think the performance will be reduced after mining? Huh

What I've seen with those gamers, if the GPU was 2nd hand they are asking if it was used for mining.

They all think that its already abused if it came from a miner so they tend to assume that its performance was reduced.

Sure, no problem.

Gpu's last for more than 3 years mining.

My advice would be to just keep mining with that GPU forever

Good luck!

Hello Everyone,

I am a crypto enthusiast and I made a computer from scratch. Bought everything from Amazon and built the computer. After about 4 months, I stopped Mining because of the crypto going down. It's not that I will sell my crypto but I just wanted to learn how to make a computer and a mining computer so that was that. Now, I just want to get rid of my graphics card and the whole system I built. I used it for about 4 months using nicehash miner.

There are two things in my mind. First, do you think that just after 4 months of mining, my graphics card would be reduced in performance? Secondly, if anyone of you wants to buy it off me, let me know. I live in Bristol, England.

Thanks,
Asad.

In 4 months mining lets say 24/7 on all that period then i dont see a reason why would decrease its performance. It would be just still the same even though it is already came from a hard work yet these cards is built to last up for longer. If you would say 6-8 months then probably i would be convinced to say about on that decrease.

Planning to sell? Its up to you but expect for its price to be a bargain and wait i do see this comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iplQuI6YxM8
better to keep it on your own.

Thank you all of you For replies. The fact that this thought came to me was because of my local hardware store guy. He said because its going to be working 24/7 then its going to deteriorate in power over time. The only thing that concern me is that I dont know how to overclock or do anything that can decrease the power consumption while maintaining the bashing rate good. All I literally did was that I built a computer and downloaded nicehash and used it for 4 months and then stopped. If any of you wants to buy it from me. Let me know.

Otherwise, can anyone guide me as to how I could change its settings? Im a biology student trying to become all techy with this stuff because I love the idea of mining.
