I recently finished my first pc build, its been great so far although when running watch dogs my gpu (MSI GTX 770 2GB twin frozr) my gpu reaches temperatures of 67-72 degrees. Is this safe? should I turn down my graphics settings? While playing other gaems such as Rome 2 my gpu reaches 50 as a maximum. Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
Even running at 80C it wont shorten the lifespan. If the card gets too hot they shutdown or downclock to save themselves from degradation.
