Is there some proper data about GPU Degradation with a higher VCore through MSI Afterburners Voltage Slider (NVidia Pascal, Turing or Ampere)

Maxing out the Voltage Sliders unlocks the last 3 voltage steps to the next highest bin when the VCore is limited by "reliability" (VRel)
in my case from 1.062v to 1.081v
Or from 1.081V to 1.1V

Nvidia said once that the lifespan goes from 5 years to one.

but i don't believe that for some reasons.
first.
How the hell can a 2.3% VCore increase (that only occurs in certain scenarios) decrease the lifespan by 80%? (is that even physically possible?)

and second:
it sounds more like "we don't want RMA Cards with damage that we can't prove from our side so we scare the shit out of everyone"


does somebody have real data or at least own experiences about the degradation?

my 1080 Ti "degraded" after 2 years of having it maxed out by one 15 Mhz step.
until i found out that repasting fixed the issue and the card runs fine with the same OC that it had on day one.
