No it won't....Where did you get that information from? 100% utilization means the gpu is actually being used to it's full potential.
There was already a study on it during the recycle mining cards era. It has absolutely no effect on the cards at all. They are designed to run at 100%, matter of fact they can easily bypass to 110-120%.
Now can someone with game mechanical knowledge please help, thanks ahead
Where in your head do you believe that your computer needs to run at 100% at all times or that its suppose to run at 100% at all times?
Your GPU is running your settings just fine at 80% and you are complaining thats its not higher?
If you run your cards and processor at 100% all the time you are going to kill your system. Its not a matter of "oh I don't run it all day" its a matter of cooling. The tests you are talking about were ran with extreme cooling conditions. They were not optimized for idiots who have poor cooling, circulation, and for individuals who never clean out their cases.
There are actual people out there that believe dusting out and cleaning our your case is a myth, just like some people think getting your oil changed or your transmission fluid changed is a myth. (I've worked in a mechanics shop, there are people who actually believe this)
Running your system at 100% kills your system slowly. If its cooled properly and taken care of it can last for more than 5 years, only problem is that most of us upgrade our rigs every 5 years or so, so we really never noticed.
Now onto your "its full potential at 100%", what full potential are you talking about? Your computer is running just fine at 80% which means it does not need to run at 100%. Your computer is optimized enough that it does not require the extra power.
Its like arguing with a friend of mine that overclocks his PC just because "no man, overclocking is more power" even though when I tested it his rig can run every game on his PC at full settings without needing to be overclocked. I try to tell him overclocking will kill his computer if he does it needlessly, but like you he believes that the parts are made to run at that setting. The computer dies every 2 to 3 years and he complains about having to always buy new cards or new processors. At the moment he hates amd and radeon. Even though the issue is with him not the cards or chips.
I've built PC's and fixed PC's my whole life though, what do I know.
I don't think you actually know what you're talking about at all. The only games that don't utilize full potential of gpu's are either old or you have your settings too low.
100% in increments of gameplay is absolutely normal. I have no idea where you get your information from, besides the I build my own computer line you throw out, guess what...I built my own my entire life too!!
No one is even talking about overclocking.
I mean there was literally test done on gpu's that spent over a year in cryto machine's and they didn't show one sign of degradation. What are you talking about?
Let's get some fact straight, 100% utilization is not what kills a card, it has absolutely no effect on pcb, not a dye, not a chip. Most cards are killed by exceeding power limits and heat. That's like telling someone to stop putting files on their ssd because it only has a million uses. Makes no sense at all. Use it as it was intended to be used.
Show me one fact that 100% utilization kills a gpu
5 years..Right thats why I can still benchmark my 980x at 4.5ghz from 2010 as it's never been ran at stock speed. That's why after market manufactures literally sell overclocked products with huge warranties. I mean please, I have a freaking 8800gt that still works.
What are you even talking about dusting and cleaning for? How does that have any role in this conversation at all?
If you debated 90% as a constant, I would agree with you, but not 80% at 1440p. Especially not when a month ago I could get 97% out of this game. There has not been any amazing new drivers released, nor has this game been better optimized.
I seriously would like to how you think a gpu will die if you game with it at 100% load, and I never said anything about running 100% at all times, ever. I expect my games too, especially at higher resolutions, because it is normal.
I mean the c**p people have said in here, there's one guy claiming the 8700k is bottlenecked... I mean what??
