GTX 1080 FTW Temp. Question

[elisz]

Got a brand new 1080 off the box, And I was wondering what temps. should this card be reaching with its cooler and heatpipes? Because, I was playing Dying Light: Enhanced Edition at 1440p w/ maxed. vsynch off and it was reaching around 81~83c. (I know this is a perfectly fine temp.) but considering it has a larger fan and my prev. SC GTX 970 was only reaching 71c. Granted it was played at 1080p. But I feel a little off. So any owners of the same card care to share your thoughts and temps?

notes: the fan was running at 80% at 80c btw. Just in-case anyone suggests a fan curve.

From all the benchmarks i have seen (and i have seen a lot of them) 81-83C is normal it will hit that temp and then clock down to stay that temp i would only worry if frame rates go down

That is warm. What kind of case flow do you have, and what ambient room temp? My 1080 FTW has not went over 75C, ever, and I have fans at 70% at that temp using Precision X OC. It usually stays in mid 60's while gaming.

Just checked Dying Light and it hit 68C with a 60% fan profile. 83C is very warm- not dangerous, but too warm.
