Mining is no different than playing video games.
Both activities stress the video card in the same way.
You can adjust the settings of the video card when mining, so you can use what power you'd like, you don' have to go 100%. Often times you'll get more hash rate from lower settings which is more efficient.
I wouldn't advise mining on a laptop due to the poor ventilation. If you have a gaming desktop with good coolers and additional fans, then you should be good.
Always adjust the settings of the rig according to the crypto you're mining and the software you're using.
No matter how much you try, you can't preserve the Graphics Processing Unit when you use it to mine for it to last as long as it would have lasted. Just have it at the back of your mind that you would need to be replacing video cards often.While it's true that mining can put a strain on a video card and shorten its lifespan, it's not necessarily true that it will "kill" the card. Mining uses a lot of processing power, which can cause the card to run hotter than usual. This can lead to wear and tear on the card, and eventually it may need to be replaced. However, there are ways to mitigate the effects of mining on a video card, such as using a cooling system or undervolting the card. With proper care and maintenance, it's possible to extend the life of a video card that's used for mining.
