Hi, I was just wondering if 45% (around 1080 rpm) is ok for a gpu fan on idle, temps are fine 33°C and stays there on idle, but fan speed seems a bit high, will it shorten life of my fans by a lot and/or is it normal

I have r9 380 saphire nitro, and it all started after installing crimson drivers (temps under load are normal as they were 65-75, with 50-70% fan speed with oc depending on the game (basically same as it was before)
 
Solution
Fans can run at high speeds for a long time and not have any issues, I have mine at 45% 24/7. You won't wear out the fan by running them at high speeds, I don't even think running them at 100% would do very much to the lifespan of them.
