So I'm running 2 saphire vapor-x 290x gpu's which have led's on them to indicate heat level. The top one turned red when playing sniper elite 3 on ultra settings which I think means it was around 80 degrees Celsius and I'm wondering if it's bad for the card to run that hot.

Use a GPU temps monitoring program like MSI afterburner to monitor actual temps. Touching (not maintaining) 80C for a couple of seconds is fine, unless you're touching 92C+ repeatedly, its all good. LED will give you a basic idea but precise readings are better.

Blue (0 to 60C), Yellow (60 to 80C) and Red (80C or higher). The tolerance for the changing LED colors is +/- 5C, so this will give you a rough idea of the GPU temperatures without needing additional software if you have a case window that allows you to see your card.
