I "think" he means waterblock and go have fun with OCing the card like crazy? right..?

Yeah, I was supecting that he was referring to that... Although that would be hard considering I'm on ITX platform

Work mate of mine wants to upgrade his 780 to one of these, Would be quite a nice upgrade but he's only running a 1080P 144Hz panel.

TBH that really is the logical upgrade. His 780 would have been in the same tier as the 1080ti

Even with a 1080P 144Hz panel ? I thought it would be wasted at such a res.

So you reckon it will provide a solid minimum FPS of 144? I doubt that dude, even on 1080p.
Plus the option to go for a higher res will be there then
You can never have enough GPU power ! of all of the things in a PC that seems to slow down far more often the GPU is the worst.
I mean man, when I bought my Titan Blacks I thought I would be safe for years. Just over a year later (and SLi had died) they were really starting to creak.

Well overclocking them does deteriorate them. Same with CPU.

It would have to be a very long time for there to be any signs of deterioration due to overclocking and excessive volts.

That's debatable depending on your experience.
More voltage means more power, meaning more strain on the components.
especially if hardcore gamers are playing 8hours+ and gpus are overclocked 24/7

Yup. It's rarely something talked about because people who overclock heavily usually replace their parts every time a faster part becomes available which makes the whole argument for or against incredibly muddy.
However, from my own experience? I've always shown respect and caution when overclocking. However with my 3970x rig I decided to go balls to the wall and overclock it literally as far as I could, then use it at those speeds.
I got it to 4.7ghz stable and 4.9 bench. I left it at 4.7 for about 11 months and all of a sudden one day I realise something is up. Then I look into it further, and as soon as my CPU gets given anything to worry about it automatically clocks itself down to 1.1ghz.
Turns out the VRMs on my board had died, probably because of all of the voltage I was shoving through it. Mind you saying that my board apparently had "military grade" components and over 20 phases (something mad like 24 phases).
So yeah, make of that what you will I guess. I contacted MSI who informed me they no longer sold that board and thus they could not replace it. So I had a really stressful week trying to find a replacement board (this was before 2670 gate) and eventually I just sold it.
Had a 6970 Lightning die with a mild overclock too.

I have a GTX 680 running in a little lan rig that's been over volted and overclocked since it came out around 2012, Hasn't missed a beat, It would need to be over volted beyond manufacturer limits for there to be any real deterioration, Although if a card dies because it's been slightly overclocked then that's the fault of the manufacturer for using cheapo parts.

Cores tend to last a long time. The things that provide the power is more often than not the things that fail first. VRMs, Mosfets, power regulators/ or Caps. If it is an actual die that fails, it's usually the memory that goes first. Makes sense too, running much much higher frequincies and instead of one die, there's like what? 8 in total?
