that is.. none ever died on me before i stopped wanting to use it and upgraded. i usually upgrade every 1.5-2 years.

Same story here.

If you overclock it too high and then let it overheat real bad, then yes, it can kill the card.

I've also heard of FurMark killing cards.

When I buy one, there is surely a big price drop the next week.

Over volting > Physical Damage > Shoddy Manufacturing (cheap caps, etc.) > Heat

Ranked in order of most to least prevalent, at least in my experience.
