Why do GPUs have a short life span? Do they make them faulty

>>59371272
High voltages and temperatures sustained over a long period of time, and rapid temp fluctuations.

I held on to my last three GPU's for 4 years each. Sure they got worse as they aged, but they didn't fail totally and they were replaced with much better GPU's.

>>59371409
What did they change in modern GPU design that makes them die so quickly? I still have a GeForce 4 and an ATI Rage 128 that are working and I've used them longer than my GeForce 6600GT and Radeon 4830 that died in just a few years.

Stop gayming on your laptop

More transistors in less space, takes less of a defect to cause more of a problem.

Integrated graphics are only slightly worse than consoles at this point and you don't have to pay for online with PC. You could have skipped out on a console, spend $200 more on a PC with even just Intel Iris graphics or a gtx 1050/AMD equivalent, and had a more powerful machine than a console.

i don't think i've had a gpu failure since 2002
and that was actually the psu's fault anyway

>>59371509
They're not my laptops, literally the most GPU intensive things they've been used for is youtube, if not windows aero.

Usually it's just the heat/cold cycle fucking up the contacts, that's why the heatgun trick is so successful at fixing these things.

i tried to be an AMD fanboy with my 280x. It died after 2 1/2 years.

My 8800GTS is still great powering my grandmother's computer. My 570 GTX is still great powering my friend's "media" rig. Now I'm on a 1070gtx

Good goy

I have one faulty GTX 660, and every single one of my S3, ATI/AMD, and 3DFX graphics cards still works. Nvidia is literal shit.

>>the TV your console is connected to is a botnet
Why would I use a smart TV? That's fucking retarded.
>>your console is a botnet
It stays in one room. I unplug it when I'm done with it.
>>your phone (even a dumb phone) is a botnet
I remove the battery when I'm not using it for work.
>>even your fridge can be a botnet if you want
Why would I want that? My fridge is nearly 20 years old anyways.
>>but the computer you use to post on a botnet website somehow is invulnerable to the botnet
I use Coreboot and I've fully disabled the management engines. I don't have any non-free software installed. I also don't use systemd, but rather I rely on a BSD style init and shell scripts that are easy to understand and modify, giving me more control. Router runs OpenWrt. I'm also a pass user, so I don't have to allow any bullshit JS from jewgle for that captcha trash. I also bought the pass using a gift card that I bought with cash.

No botnet in my PCs, nigger.

I don't play them for 72 hours at a time, so I don't think I'll have this problem.

AMD and Nvidia don't even make anything besides the chips and reference boards, which most cards don't use. There's a good chance any card failing had to do with the board partner.

You either have extreme autism if you actually do all of that, especially the phone battery thing, or you're exaggerating a lot.

Has anyone had iGPUs fail on them when used for gaymen? Considering using something with just Iris graphics as they're passable today but don't want to replace the entire cpu in a few years, if that's what'll happen might as well get a dedicated GPU

>>59371272
They don't.

>>59371987
Intel has the most experience on the 14nm process and has the most rigid quality control because they own their own fabs. As long as you stick with Intel you should be good.

People say stuff like that a lot.

Where I work, all I can do is smile and say "OK" when people come up to me to tell me how shit HP have been since the cheap turd they bought turned out to be shit. This while I'm registering the RMA for yet another Asus UX305CA (Random BSODs, doesn't boot, way crooked frame, stuck trackpad, or any other random issue these ones typically get).

Every maker have their turds.

At least I'm not a stupid fucking normie and I know how computers work. Now get off this board, you freedom hating, tech illiterate cuckold.

Actually autistic people on average are below 100IQ. The whole autistic savant thing is way overblown, you're not a genius for having autism, despite what your parents tell you.

Why did you buy consoles if you don't want botnet hardware? Are you just using old consoles or what?
