Hello
first off I must say that Im really new to PC gaming (this is my first built PC). I picked up a xfx7870 DD card and while running Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon on Ultra setting it gets pretty hot. At first it would get around 80-86 Degrees but I altered the fan setting with Afterburner to run at 100% at 80 degrees and now it hovers around 80. The card idles around 35-40 degrees. Im wondering if its normal for this card to be running so hot or am I pushing it a little much? I dont want to damage anything and me being new to this I may just be a worry wort. Thanks!
Also I ran the Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and it ran at about 85 before changing the settings in afterburner.
