Gigabyte announced its latest gaming graphic card, the Radeon RX 6800 GAMING OC 16G. The new device uses a graphene-enhanced lubricant for its fan.
Gigabyte says that its "Graphene nano lubricant" extends the lifetime of the fan by 2.1 times, almost like a double ball bearing design - and it also makes the fab quieter compared to the company's previous design.
The Radeon RX 6800 GAMING OC 16G with the graphene lubricant is now shipping for $1,199.

I don't think it really matters.
GPUs most likely become obsolete or outdated before their fans die, so fan durability/lifespan doesn't really matter.
