When playing FarCry 3 for about 20 minutes or so, my card hits 80° C

is it normal?

The 700-series cards like to run at 80C @ 100% Power. If you don't like this, however, most of them (EVGA and ASUS for sure do, not familiar with MSI) come with software where you can set a more aggressive fan profile to keep the temperature down.

The reason being is the GPU Boost 2.0 on the 700 series cards is temperature based. It will "boost" its clocks until it hits 80C, then do what it can to maintain that level at minimum noise pollution (i.e., not ramping up the fans to 100%). The default threshold is set at 80C. I use the ASUS GPU monitor software to set mine to 70C instead.

It's fine. Don't forget that the temps depend on how much ventilation is in your case and the room temp your PC is in.

My GTX 760 never goes above 64C, overclocked.

Depends on how much you stress the card and what cooler design you have. My Reference-cooler Titan likes to chug happily at 80C. I had to set up a fan curve to get it to behave otherwise.

Alex - Depending on your manufacturer, the cooler may be dissipating the heat more than the 760 can generate it. Likely the cooler was designed for a higher end card and then not readjusted for the 760. Therefor the 760 hits its theoretical performance cap (whatever you have it overclocked to) before it ever hits 80C.

780TI is made to run at 80c unless you lower the temperature target it will always try to get up to 80c because it's trying to give you the maximum performance within your power and temp targets. Lower your temperature target and create a fan curve if you would like the temperatures lower. 80c is perfectly normal. You can set your own video card profiles up with programs like EVGA Precision X and MSI Afterburner.

You can also set frame rate limits on your games if you want the temperatures lower, I would use nvidia inspector if you would like to do that there is a good nvidia inspector guide at guru3d.

Your factory preset Turbo Boost "Temp Limit" for a GTX 780 Ti is 82c. Turbo Boost 2.0 works by targeting a particular preset temperature, in your case 82c. When your card exceeds that temperature, it will decrease its Turbo Boost clocks to cool and maintain that temperature. When running below that temperature, your card will increase its Turbo Boost clocks. In your case, 80c is completely normal and expected, particularly in hot summer temperatures.

Alright so I made the temp target to 70c and created a fan curve using Asus GPU Tweak software, hope it'll work tho.

Thanks for help guys :)
