Certain graphics cards have a reputation for failure due to heat (this being one of them). Couple that with people overclocking them and the failure rate is higher than "normal".

My use case is for circa  2003-2007 games for which this card is plenty powerful enough without overclocking. Couple that with limited use (as I just don't have time for hours of gaming day in day out) and I expect it will last a long time. I'll re-bake it if it fails again anyway. And if that fails then it goes to the recyclers.
