Failures occur due to heat cycling, cold -> hot -> cold for the non-engineers out there. ![]() So this means that we should just keep our laptops on forever? They mention that the ASIC circuitry that's on the gpu is the culprit and when the gpu heats up and when you put your mbp to sleep or turn it off it cools and pretty much the circuitry cant take too much of it from heating up and cooling and heating up and cooling and over and over. I just feel like I've bought an expensive laptop with an expiration date on it. ![]() you see I dont game at all really on my mbp which scares me even further because that means the gpu could survive anywhere from 2-4 years and if it dies after my AC runs out then I'm totally screwed. ![]() Looks like 2-3 years kind of thing with moderate usage. No basically all Nvidia 8600M GT cards that are in the mbp whether its the 128mb, 256mb, 512mb are defective and eventually depending how much you push your gpu will determine its longevity.
