Does factory OC shorten graphic card life too?

Solution
They're essentially the same thing,manual overclockers tend to push it further.
The important part to keep in mind is; its not the frequency that breaks silicon down,initially, its the heat.

Depends on the subvendor. EVGA,for example, doesnt care if you OC or even change the heatsink,just return it to stock conditions before trying to use the warranty.

All OEM(AMD/NVIDIA) direct GPUs are warranty voided upon Manual Overclocking as far as i know.
