4:53 – letsgoiowa: “On the topic of degradation, ho wwell do older graphics cards hold up over time? Have you noticed any particular trends one way or another with a certain model? I think of the long lifespan of the GTX 8800 and AMD's 7970, while the 580 seems left by the wayside in comparison. What traits lead to a long GPU service life?”
