In that case absolutely carry on! I didn't want to sound prescriptive since I'm not familiar with wear patterns of GPU-heavy calculations (it's entirely possible that they're built well enough to just run pegged at 100% for a very long time), and I also don't know much about GFX card durability for a card like the 1070 -- I thought it might be a pain to try and replace, with how tight the form factor must be. iFixit doesn't have anything on the Oryx Pro yet[0] so... I also didn't know Hetzner sold GPU compute! Is it a package or are you going to market and searching "gpu"?
