I would argue I have treated my mining cards better than gaming only cards I have had. I have ALWAYS run mining cards underclocked and undervolted to reduce power usage, and I know quite a few miners do this. Whereas my gaming cards were always overclocked. I think the only thing maybe could be worse off on a mining card would be the fan, but if you get a good quality card it shouldn't be an issue unless you have the fan at 100% 24/7.I'm not certain how much the resale price of a mining GPU fits into ROI calculations, many of them either flat out die, have their fans get clapped out, or develop visual artifacting during their short miserable lives, limiting resale value in many cases anyway.
