I personly onwn the xxx version and i have it overclcoked to 750 core 1900 memory and 1700shader and i only get aritfacts when i close up my case (i normaly run wiht case side off) and if it ever breaks i send it in to get a new one...beacause overclocking it does not void the warenty (tech suppoirt confermed this one)

They'll be obsolete before they reach their average life expectancy.

At least two years, usually 5 or so before burning out.
