Your GPU is degrading faster than it should, and you might be at fault
Graphics cards are durable components, usually lasting as long as 8–10 years if maintained well. However, they can also fail much earlier, and the reasons can often be self-inflicted. If you use the set-and-forget approach with your PC, push your GPU to the limit, and ignore your PC's constraints, you're essentially putting a dent in your GPU's natural lifespan. Enough strain on your graphics card's internals can degrade it faster, increasing the chances of premature failure. GPU maintenance doesn't mean limiting your PC's performance, but you should also not ignore the best practices that can prolong your hardware's longevity. You need to avoid excess dust, heat, and power if you want to keep your GPU running for as long as possible, especially in this market where a GPU upgrade might not be affordable anymore.
