Safe temperature threshhold for GPU?

So I recently added another 770 4Gb to my machine so I now have 2 770's in SLI, and I want to know what the usual "safe" temperature for a graphics card is? at 50%-70% load they hover around the 60-65 degrees mark (And they'll probably go higher at full load, but I have yet to play a game that's pushed both cards to 100%), and back when I used a single card, it would typically hit 70 degrees at full load. What I want to know is at what point a graphics card might get too hot? I have a relatively large case with great airflow and several fans set up in the proper intake/exhaust configuration, but if the cards hit temperatures that are too high liquid cooling is always an option, but I'd rather not go that route just yet if it can be avoided.
