Yesterday it just failed to start. The card was purchased in Jan-20, just before COVID started. Before that I had 1080Ti that also lived slightly more than 3 years and literally blew with pretty loud bang, while I was flying in heavy clouds in P3d. I though that entire PC did die 😉 hence, 4 years is realistic lifespan of GPU in terms of reliability I guess. Anything after is a lottery. Just my 5 cents. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

Once with a 3090 (Gaming Rig) and the other with a 4090 (Flightsim Rig). They are solid PSU. Recently had the EVGA 850 G3 go bad on me after 7 years. Under the 10 year warranty I sent it to EVGA for RMA and they sent me back an 850 G5.

I've never had a graphics card fail on me in my 25+ years or running flight sims. Until last October I had a GTX780 running in a second computer for moving maps. That was bought in 2013 in a new PC and was fine for 5 years. The 1080Ti supplied in my 2018 Chillblast was fine up to when my new computer arrived in October. It's now running moving map software. I always run P3D at 30fps with VSync so the cards are never pushed that hard. I wonder if that extends their lives. Ray (Cheshire, England).

January 22, 20242 yr I had an EVGA Nvidia 560 Ti fail and it began to fail immediately. I had just gotten it and its drivers installed when I started getting screen pixelation. A reboot would solve the issue, but only for a short period of time. The pixelation worsened and around the second week, I had to RMA the card. It's replacement worked just fine and EVGA did a great job of standing behind their warranty.
