Hello guys, I finally overclocked my gigabyte gtx 770 2gb with a stable +60 core clock and +200 memory clock. I want to ask you if that fan curve is good to keep it cool because my vga runs hot on unigine (86 degrees max): https://imgur.com/a/5YAG4yu
Thank you all :)

First one is better, as temps climb, so does fan speeds, which will do a better job of keeping the temps in check. With a sharp curve in the second, your fans will go nuts, ramping up and down as those temps are right about where gaming temps will be, @60-80.

Gpus generally consider 80° as the top of safe area, when going past that, you increase the chances of thermal throttling, just like a cpu. So having fans at max after 80 is a wise decision, maximum cooling ability.

Depending on your gaming habits, choices etc, you can always tailor the curve better, or more to your preferences, but if you find gaming is constantly making the gpu fans scream, it's usually a dead giveaway that it's staying too hot for too long, and might need to...

No, you should be reaching 100% at 80 or before. Unigen is going to tax your gpu hard, more than likely harder than gaming will, but not cooling the gpu before its reaching those temps, will just allow it to reach them. I'd move everything back 10°C at least.
