Quite the opposite, GPUs running at a stable rate degrade less than GPU that continuously hit highs and lows (like it would happen on a gaming rig).

- yobbo 4mo agoNormal use means loading data into the GPU for each batch. The load is not even, though training might be worse than "production".
- blensor 4mo agoAfter digging around a bit I found an unverified claim from 2024 that GPUs in datacenters have a lifespan of 1-3 years https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/datacenter-gpu-service-life-can-be-surprisingly-short-only-one-to-three-years-is-expected-according-to-unnamed-google-architect https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/datacenter-g... Others say that moderate load means a lifespan of ~5 years Not sure what that means but I would assume that a datacenter will start replacing a node once the error rate hits a certain threshold without really investigating why it failed, so the practical lifespan may be shorter than 5 years even if it would technically still be usable enough
