There can be many reasons for a broken video card. Stupid people buy gaming computers in small cases because they are beautiful and compact, but the graphics card gets very hot there. And if this PC is not cleaned and listened to for several years, then breakdowns are possible. And miners monitor the temperature of the video card, so their equipment works for a long time.
Correct, I used to own a 1660 GTX that I use for gaming and I have those gaming cases that have transparent cover on won't looks shiny and attractive but after I upgraded my GPU to 3070 ti my temp jumps higher after 3 minutes of gaming, I had to open the case and underclock the GPU then the result is so dearing,
