Is it true that Overclocking a graphics card shortens its operating lifespan?

Yes. A reference article on overclocking states that overclocked devices may have shorter lifespans, and a Wikibooks guide warns that extensive overclocking will destroy hardware. Together they support the claim that overclocking a graphics card shortens its operating lifespan.
