Long term gpu damage

[kawahira2833]

Hello, I have a habit of leaving my PC on downloading at all times, I turn off the monitor and leave it there but the graphics card is still on, I was just wondering if this would eventually damage it or if it turns off itself after a while when not in use? Thanks for your help

Graphics card stays active but during idle mode it should last many many years.
No issues at all leaving it on.
