After losing half its value, Nvidia faces reckoning

Don't be torn on the RTX line, be practical. The RTX 3080 or RTX 4080 will be amazing. By that time they'll have fixed the initial performance issues and software will be generally available that actually takes advantage of it. Now's a great time to find a used 1080 or two for cheap.

Don't buy the first generation of anything unless you've got money to burn. Get the second or third.

No, you'll get something worn out after running flat out for a year in a Monero mining farm.

What parts are worn out, and how does this affect performance and remaining lifespan? I guess I can see that fan bearings and the like may have physical wear, but I'm surprised that "digital" wear would be a major problem.
