Considering it's a HD5000 series card (HD5670 to be exact) it should last quite a time. Assuming you use the right thermal paste of course (at least MX4 or MX5 is recommended for those), it should last pretty well. Add a bigger cooler as usually those cards come with poor heatsinks that aren't suitable for anything past HD3200 or 3450 max.
