Hehe it is so funny like nvidia is kinder garden. If i could talk to nvidias people to face ehhh ehh. What happened? Where is gamers that wanted cards? These gpu manufaturerers will never find good customer like a miner Grin

To be honest I think 80% of the cards are bought by gamers/designers, also there is much bigger chance that miner will burn gpu than gamer.
My kid is playing on 1080ti ( I have no intention of getting him better until he gets better in school) for 5+ years, card was cleaned few times in that time, thermal paste never changed... No issues with the card, I think chances for the same card to survive 5+ years of 24/7 mining, barely any cleaning... are slim

If 80% of the cards are bought by gamers/designers, then there would be no such price reduction in the market. The demand for video cards grows only when the payback of a video card in mining is 6-12 months.
I have a lot of GTX 1060,1070,1080 and RX 470-480 video cards that have been mining for more than 5 years. The fans are broken. Chinese fans from aliexpress are of very poor quality and work for 3-4 months, so I use standard 80x80.

The Gtx 10 series are one of the strongest regarding quality from what I have seen in these years that I had them from 2016 and up,I am talking about the Gigabyte and Palit brands that I had.

The Rtx 3060 ti in Ali express brand new from Gigabyte at less than 200 dollars I think it is a good price and many other cards have come down a lot.It is a good time to buy such cards for people who are willing to mine at a loss and stock up the coins for the future,and no I am not pro buying the coins as it is much harder to hold on to those coins rather than mining them little by little which is much easier to hold on.

Right now it is not a good time for mining but I have strong belief that after a couple of years we will rise again,mining is a multi million dollar industry and I think Nvidia and AMD will not lose easily such opportunity.
