i have a msi N770 TF 2GD5/OC and when running 3dmark or unigine my gpu load temps go to 80c. should i rma this card? is this normal? iv even rethermal pasted my gpu and nothings changed.i have really good air flow in my case and ambient temps are low. so why is my gpu running so hot?

 
The 770s can run a bit hot, especially if you have a factory overclocked model. My Zotac 770 Amp Edition approaches 80 degrees if put at 100% load for extended periods on the default fan profile. You can set a more aggressive fan curve using something like MSI Afterburner to get it to ramp the fans up at 70 degrees or so to get it to run a bit cooler if you want. Your current temps are fine, and you should only get really worried if you're breaking past 90 degrees Celsius.
