Hey guys (and gals) I'm new to pc building and gaming so I hope this isn't too dumb of a question. I just bought and installed a new GTX 750 super clocked from EVGA. Its a great little card (especially with the factory overclocking) however when playing Crysis 3 with the settings cranked up the clock speed stays maxed out at 1500mhz. The card isn't overheating but can running it at 100% for extended periods damage or shorten the cards lifespan in anyway?

Cheers,
Nick

It won't damage it, most video cards run at 100% unless the framerate is capped.
As for its lifespan... It's nothing to worry about. At worst it might decrease the lifespan from 10 years to 9 years or something. XD
Video cards tend to last long enough that they're very outdated before they break.
