I own a RX 480 and I have been playing games like the Witcher 3. Where I live the atmospheric temperature is 33ºC now so one time it hit a peak of 90ºC in that gpu but fast it went down to 83. Most of the times the graphic cards keeps at 69-83ºC. When I play The witcher 3 normally I get 83ºC. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks you for the help.

Actually no-one really knows, it's a new card, a new node, a new process.

If you are concerned increase your fan speeds.

Generally speaking GPUs cope better with heat than CPUs and for nvidia at least 85C was not a problem (not liked but not a problem), but for AMD the last set of cards started throttling at 85 did they not? or was it 80C.

Personally I think that is high, i'd change the fan profile to increase the fan speed and try to get to a steady 80. I do believe it would throttle if there was an issue, but it's too new to be sure.

^ Fair enough, but the Witcher 3 is very demanding. It'll be at full load fairly often, so that will drive up temps a lot. Not a lot of games will be at full load as much as TW3, so normally I imagine he'd be fine. But yes, turning up the fan speed will help.
