The 295 is designed for temps up to 100degrees c. so at 80' you not doing to bad hey.
my 8800gt used to run a 60' idel and reached temps of 100' +. i decided to water cool it tho as running at 100' is not my idea of fun. Like i say ur card should be fine if it really bothers u look into better thermal paste as the 1 that comes with the card is usually crappy. also chech out a pci slot cooler antec have a really nice 1. :bounce:
