I Just bought a PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Graphic Card (VCGGTX10808PB) And this thing is heating up so0o bad. Its reach temps up to 88 C. the highest i seen it at was 91 C.... i got scared and shut down my game. Im playing Pub G But mainly Paragon. Should i return this and get a new differnt type of GTX 1080 or should i try and find a solution?

You are using the Founder Edition card, 85-86c is the default fan profile. If you want lower temps you will need to manually change the fan speed or fan profile in a 3rd party program like MSI Afterburner.

Your card will not die because its running at 91c. However it will start to significantly downclock the boost speed. If you can't get more airflow in the case and crank up the fan speed you might want to consider a different video card that uses an aftermarket cooler.
