Hello all,
I have recently built my gaming computer (just a month ago!). While playing Call of Duty: Ghosts (great game, I highly recommend it), my graphics card, the HD 7870 XT MYST (the powercolor one) goes up to 80c! Is this too hot? My CPU never leaves 40c! Let me know what you think, and if it is a problem, what is the fix?

More info:
I run Ghosts on the highest settings
I use Speedfan to monitor the temps

80 is not out of the ordinary for a graphics card.

Just make sure your case has good airflow (Intake and exhaust fans) as well as your cables are neatly tied back so they are not in the way.
