video card degradation

Do video cards usually degrade over time or is it usually all at once? One failure mechanism, is described here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromigration "In modern consumer electronic devices, ICs rarely fail due to electromigration effects. This is because proper semiconductor design practices incorporate the effects of electromigration into the IC's layout." Mostly true, except when it's not true :-) Especially when you're building a GPU with three billion transistor equivalents. The temptation to make the wires too thin, is overpowering :-) Paul |
