In europe that situation will be wildly different. Here in germany you won’t get under 0.50$/kWh (edit: more like .30 now) so it’s more like 500 to 800 hours
Edit 2: wow, thanks for the hint! I just halved my prices by switching
Those were last year’s prices during the height of the energy crisis. I was paying 0.60€/kWh last year (new contract). I renegotiated this year and got it lowered to about 0.27€/kWh.
I switched to a half hourly tracker earlier this year. So it’s like 10-15p/kWh (and sometimes as low as negative so they pay you to use the electricity) and jumping to 30-40p between 4pm and 7pm.
As someone working from home with pretty much constant electricity use all day, it’s saved me tons.

wait what? i’m paying ~0.30$/kwh at the moment in germany
Dang! I must have missed the prices dropping. I’ll change my subscription then i guess
I’m at about 27ct.
Germany is an outlier though. Most of Europe is around 10 cents. Today’s price in Finland is <0.5 cents.

True, but that’s still on the order of time that you may never reach the price difference in the lifespan of the GPU.
