But would you _want_ a GPU that had a former life as a cryptominer? Running all those computations 24/7 probably takes a bit out of the life expectancy.

Actually yes. Gpu miners undervolt their cards these days and mining is a consistent load on the cards.

The mining cards experience less stress and wear compared to gaming.

IIRC, Mining can be intensive on VRAM, which can shorten cards' lifespans.
