The cards used for mining run almost 24/7 so while some people wouldn't care so long as the cost was friendly, if I were in the gamer's shoes

Gaming exerts heat/cooling cycles on the video card while mining is a stable 24/7 load. Gaming power usage is higher than mining for most coins. Heat cycles tend to crack solder joints over time, which is the most common reason a video card becomes defective.

But unfortunately, logic & reason does not matter to gamers, so they can continue experiencing higher failure rates.

Yep. Most gamers that are not side mining run their cards to the max for 3-5 hours shut the gear off and power up a day later. Thus killing gear.

Any sane rational gpu miner know to under volt and clock properly.

I have 1080ti's still working 24/7/365 since dec 2017 which is actually more like 24/7/1700

Tired of gamers they are simply economic fools (unless they side mine while sleeping).
