Will the life of the Graphics card last long, if we insert the GPU only when necessary while playing games, and when it is not needed, we can operate with the motherboard's display?
In other words what I am suggesting is to keep the GPU unconnected to the Motherboard while doing normal usage of the PC, and connecting the GPU while playing games.
I thought of this because my GPU (GTX 1050 Ti Mini) which I got replaced by RMA, was just some 9 months old, did not play any major games except BF1(played only half the campaign), GTA V- 5 times, and the Old game Far Cry 3, these are all the games which I played with the brand new RMA replaced GPU, now anyone can agree the aforementioned games are not going to put any heavy load on the GPU, given the fact that I always keep the settings in medium or low with the intention of not to hurt or damage the GPU, but now within 9 months without playing any major AA games, it broke I did not get a display in the Graphics Card port, but with the Motherboard port, I get the display which obviously means the GPU broke.
So I was thinking if I had kept the GPU disconnected when I did not play games then the life of the GPU might have lasted like 3-4 years, which is now shortened to mere 9 months.
