It looks like the GPU industry as we know is in the middle of a metamorphosis. Multiple sources from the channel, all the way to the AIB partners and chip manufacturers, have confirmed that GPUs used for mining will get shorter warranties.

The story is rather simple. Miners use the carda to run very intensive calculations on Bitcoin or Ethereum crypto currency network and they run cards 24/7. When AMD and Nvidia design modern graphic cards, they expect that most cards will be used for just a few hours a day. The most intensive gamers still get some sleep, but the majority of the population will be using the cards for only a few hours a day. Most casual gamers end up watching movies, reading emails and browsing Facebook or other social not working networks, in which case using a GPU is actually the time for sleep. This is the only time when an Intel integrated system is suitable for the job.
