Today died my precious GTX 460 (Gigabyte GV-N460OC2-1GI) while watching youtube video, suddenly everything hung and full screen of artifacts. After restart constant artifacts. Honestly i'm really surprised that it lasted only 3 years, i expected it to last indefinitely with good care or at least 5-6 years. Is this normal for graphics card like this to work only 3 years? Gigabyte advertised their Ultra Durable like crazy - "extended life span for graphics card, durable components, blah blah blah..."
While ago was thinking of getting GTX 760 from Gigabyte, but now i'm concerned if i should get from them. Little worried about short life span GTX460, don't want the same thing to happen with my new graphics card. Any good graphic card manufacturers i should keep my eye out when buying new graphics card?
