Hi all,
I have 2 r9 290x sapphire tri-oc in crossfire.I am played with heavily modded skyrim when textures started to go black.
I checked the specs in GPU -z and it is says the temps are 80 c.

Do anybody knows is this:

1. Normal?
2. If not what can I do with that, I haven't changed anything, factory settings.
3. At which temperature the r9 290x starts throttle?
4. This will (or already) damage the card?

Thank you.

Thanks for the information, I am a bit relieved then, texture problems most likely coming from mods.
I will try to crank up the fans a bit:)
