Running a GPU at 100% for days will destroy said GPU pretty quickly. Heat can only escape from things so fast without being given a cool down period. GPUs regularly run $400+ and there was malicious intent with regard to the damage (unlike most bugs on websites/etc.).
- anonymous 13y agoNo it can't and it shouldn't. The GPU will just downclock if it can't handle the heat.
- invisible 13y agoI've never heard of a GPU automatically downclocking due to heat. Source? Other scenarios: When the fan (eventually) fails, the GPU will fall victim soon after. A lot of gamers also overclock their GPU which would put that GPU at even more of a risk.
