So I was using AMD autotune to overclock my graphics card and it came up with 830MHz (625Mhz stock) core clock and 1188Mhz (993Mhz stock) memory clock.

This is the second time I've done it too, should I just go with it? I just think it's a way more than it should be, but it does run at 80C at full load and I've heard that 100C is about as hot as you want it

If it is stable and not too hot, then there is no reason not to keep it. You could even try pushing it farther and see what happens if you like. Just keep your eye on the temps and don't be surprised if it crashes. How much have you tested it with the current settings? Sometimes it takes hours for problems to surface (although perhaps you don't care if your computer crashes if you leave it on for 2 days straight).
