A YouTube blogger tested the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti video card, which was used for mining for a year and a half. The video showed
After the “crypto fever,” someday there will be a lot of video cards on the secondary market that have been used for cryptocurrency mining for a long time.
The author of the video ran games on an old GeForce RTX2080 Ti, which survived mining, and on the new one. There is still a difference between them. It is not catastrophic, but noticeable. The old video card produced lower FPS values. Losses amounted to 5-10%. In addition, the old GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ran hotter, but this may be due to the fact that its thermal paste has not been changed for a long time.
It is noted that the reason for the difference in performance is a decrease in the GPU frequency.
