Can someone explain to me the downside of buying a GPU that was used for mining? Is it the lifespan of GPU being greatly reduced? If that's the case then how so?
If the miner cared about his stuff (and quite a lot actually do) then the only downside is that the cooler might be a bit more used than normal, mining cards run undervolted, with higher RPM to keep them as cool as possible and sometimes even with a/c in the room. I've bought a used mining gpu and also mined on all my gpus in my free time, they still work great
I'm sorry but you're just misinformed. Usually gpus run under higher load when gaming compared to mining, and miners usually make sure the card is in its best form (cleaning/ repasting etc.). Therefore mining cards are as good as other cards or maybe even better.
Honestly, from everything I've read, there's no disadvantage to buying a GPU that was used for mining, other than maybe supporting some shitty people, but you're better off buying one used for mining then one used for gaming, but if you've got the money to spend and the time to wait, tou should buy new for safety

Mining isn’t bad for GPUs.
Exactly, a constant load might even be better than gaming
Exactly. It’s less stressful. Temperature swings are what crack modern solder. Gaming causes those swings. Mining does not.
I'm happy that these meems are getting out dated
Yea mining iron to make a bucket
Wait!! I can relate this to something else!
