Hi!

I'm about to buy this gpu from someone I know. I want to change thermal pads but how often should that be done? I need it mostly for gaming.
 
Solution
Unless that card is older than decade,my answer is no. (In your situation which is 1080.)
I mean you can/dont have to change them.
Usually when people replace it is when it breaks down due to age and thermal paste replacing (opening GPU to change the paste) or accidental ripping it.
