I wouldn't worry about lifespan unless you're constantly hitting above 80c. 😛
You'll be perfectly fine, the card will become irrelevant in terms of performance before it dies most likely.
It will be longer ON AVERAGE than it's useful lifespan, i.e. it should become irrelevant with even a $100 card beating it long before it dies. On average that is.
