Hello. I've had this card for a couple of months now (Bought the card off a friend who had it a couple of years), and when put under load (Playing Battlefield One with Ultra settings, mostly), I've noticed that the card gets to 80°C constantly (I'm talking 3-4 hours). Is this going to be ok for the card? Now, I do know about the Thermal Throttling this card has, and to be honest, I don't really see any difference in gameplay/framerates, etc. Should I lower the game video settings top drop the temps, or is everything going to be ok? If there is anything else you need to know, please ask. Thanks in advance.

Thermal throttling ONLY occurs if your card is going below stock clocks.
80c is fine, and your card will dynamically adjust the clock and fans to stay there. If you want your card to run cooler, set your fans to run a little higher.

I forgot to mention that card has a reference blower. But anyway, I've bumped the fan up to 60% now, and it's running a fair bit cooler. Thanks for your help. :)

Yeah using aggressive fan curve i find is best. I have been able to oc my 980 to 1512Mhz with the reference cooler not getting above 82 degrees

No, those are great temperatures. Also, start your own thread in the future to avoid threadjacking.

you can see from here thermal throttling in a 900 card can start at 60c , but should be not severe maybe a few MHz if the card is dropping below speced clocks then there maybe more to that issue at temps below 85c [ it like what, 90 -95c may fall in to fail safe mode/ clocking ?? ] you could google like gtx 970 throttling at 60c and see some on that also I think some of this was why like water coolers / hybrid kits were I a big demand on these and newer cards like with pascal and how it new gpu boost 3.0 works ''To start, Pascal clockspeeds are much more temperature-dependent than on Maxwell 2 or Kepler. Kepler would drop a single bin at a specific temperature, and Maxwell 2 would sustain the same clockspeed throughout. However Pascal will drop its clockspeeds as the GPU warms up, regardless of whether it still has formal thermal and TDP headroom to spare. This happens by backing off both on the clockspeed at each individual voltage point, and backing off to lower voltage points altogether'' so tio me with that better cooling = less chance or maintain a more stable higher clocking with that reference blower cooler I would pull the card out and inspect / clean the dust collected in the cooler fan and cooling fins a bit more often its not as easy to to see that or get to as with most aftermarket coolers . gpu -z has this for my card ?? anyway it shows the max is set for 91c on it according to that thing with a reference cooler about 85c is normal average at reference clocking so it looks like on this cards bios settings 91c maybe the temp the card would go to fail safe and 83c would be its throttling start point ? [+ or - some what ] good luck

That is not correct. "Thermal throttling" has a specific meaning and describes what happens when the card drops its clocks below advertised baseline clocks in order to protect itself from damage. GPU boost dropping boosted clocks by 13 Mhz is NOT "thermal throttling". Thermal throttling starts at around 91c to 95c; we'll assume 95c from here on. Up until 95c, GPU boost will progressively reduce boost clocks the hotter it gets. Below 95c, the card will run at baseline clocks minimum, or more. Above 95c, where thermal throttling occurs, the clocks will finally start dropping below baseline. Don't confuse GPU Boost performance modulation with thermal throttling.

Dr.Death ''If a GPU hits the maximum temperature, the driver will throttle down performance to attempt to bring temperature back underneath the maximum specification.'' to me that current limit of 83c is that
Nvidia literally defines the max temp in the previous sentence: "This maximum temperature varies by GPU, but is generally in the 105C range" Your poor reading comprehension has failed you, and you still don't seem to get the difference between thermal throttling and temperature based boost clocks. Oh well.

Dynamic adjustment & thermal throttling are two different things. 13 MHz adjustments here and there = Dynamic adjustment. Massive clock adjustments at once along with voltage reduction = Thermal throttling.

ya, ok '' a Boost Clock is enabled increasing clock speeds until the graphics card hits its predetermined Power Target'' and to what I said on that gpu-z where that 83c [+/- ] is that target for the throttling and that 91c [+/-] will crash it to low power states to save the card ?? [as I assume by all this I read] but I understand your the ex-spert so i'll leave you to it and i'll just comprehend some ... good luck https://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/gpu-boost/technology also ''By default GPU Boost will monitor both temperature and power, but 3 rd party overclocking utilities such as EVGA Precision X can prioritize temperature over power, at which point GPU Boost 2 can actually ignore TDP to a certain extent to focus on power'' [actually ignore TDP to a certain extent] if you got something from NVidia to add please do enjoy
