I recently have put together my own computer with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760. The driver disk came with the Valley Benchmark program also.

I was trying it out today and ran it on Extreme HD. For the most part it stayed above 30 FPS but what worried me was that towards the end of the rain scenes, the temperature peaked at around 72 C.

I know that isn't bad on its own, but the worrying part was that it got from ~35 C to 72 C in something that just ran a couple minutes. Everything about average temperatures I've seen online has it getting around that hot while playing a game.

Is this something I should worry about if I want to play something like Skyrim on high for an extended period? Or should it be fine?

Sorry if there's a solution to this somewhere. I just can't find anything about getting to certain temperatures quickly.

That's a fine temp, most video cards 90 or so is there max. You ran a benchmark that is meant to stress it a lot.

Going from 35 to 72 in no time is fine as well. Think of it like a car. Sit idle for 5 mins, the engine is barely warm to the touch, then go floor it to 100mph for 10 mins, then go touch the engine. Going to be a lot hotter. Still within limits, but hotter.
