GPUs are plenty of capable running 24/7 without issues for a long time.
Plenty of cloud providers have consumer grade GPUs.
Cryptominers don't have an issue running it at 100% either.
They have heat issues and power efficiency issues not GPU Chips breaking.
The only instance I know are if you use a very particlar load type which would normally never happen like 24/7 hitting one register only or moving data only through the bus without anything else.
Those issues are rare.
- capableweb 3y ago> GPUs are plenty of capable running 24/7 without issues for a long time. Running, yes. But running 24/7 at 100% load for days without any sort of break or underclocking it is a surefire way of making it fail quickly. If you know any people doing cryptocurrency mining, ask them :)
- CydeWeys 3y agoThe guy you're replying to knows when those issues pop up and has relevant experience here. I'd listen to him. I too have experienced hardware failure at 100% load for months straight, and have resorted to underclocking for power efficiency and longevity reasons. The performance/cost/longevity curves are not linear. Just take a little bit off the top and you do much better.
