Question Do differences in GPU temperatures affect lifespan?

[www.tgkaveh]

Hi.
Sorry for bad english.

I have a Gtx 1080ti Aero oc and i usually play game for 8 hours per a day sice 2 years ago. But i want to save this gpu for more than 15 years. Almost The gpu temperature is 70c while gaming whitout any overclocking. Now what is my situation? May i save thus gpu for next 15 years at this temperature?

well...nvidia makes cards so they can last for 2 years

More than likely your GPU will not last for 15 years: there is a definite possibility that it will wear out and have an electrical failure of some sort by then. Even if it doesn't (which is also possible, just by no means guaranteed), it will be so obsolete that it won't be worth using any more.

Example: I bought a AMD Radeon HD 6850 back in 2010, ten years ago. At the time, this was a $200 GPU. Nowadays, Intel and AMD both make CPUs with integrated graphics that are more powerful than this ten year old dedicated GPU.

70 degrees is a very decent temperature for a GPU and will likely prolong its longevity somewhat compared to running it a 80 degrees or more. However, this is not necessarily going to make your GPU last (or be worth keeping) for 15 years.

agreed, 70 degrees is a good max temp for most hardware, products that go over 80 degrees for extended periods of time are more prone to breaking down, however, you should look up the rated max temp for your gpu
