Lost of the cypto mining hype might be the reason the market is flooded with them for a lower price. According to the people on the interwebs mining doesnt affect the lifetime of the gpu drastically. the gpus are undervolted and well ventilated to reduce power consumption and thermal throttling. The consistent temps that the card operate while mining also puts lesser stress on the solder joints compared to on and off gaming work loads where temps fluctuate more.Though theres a level of uncertainty with any used component.Some cards come a with custom bios with lower vcore, gpu clock and tighter memory timings which can perform slightly lower than a card with stock bios in gaming. might not be much but if you are keen you could flash the card with stock bios for your model.I bought a HIS rx580 from neoview for like 14k with 1month warranty. Came with the stock bios and all. Been using it for like month with no issues since.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
