GTX 780 Temps?

[w0rmh0lez]

I have a GTX 780 Reference card so its the blower style from Asus. I haevnt over clocked it. Anyways my temps, when playing battlefield 4 campain on Ultra everything, a few minutes into the game are at 80c. I am worried if this is safe for the card or if theres something wrong? The game runs great. My case is a silverstone raven rv02, my cpu is an intel 4770k and I have an 850w corsair powersupply. I measured the temps using gpu-z. All the fans in my case are at the highest setting.
Gpu-z says the following

GPU Core Clock- 1006.0 MHz
GPU Memory Clock- 1502.3MHz
GPU Temperature 80.0 C
Fan Speed-52%
GPU Load 99%

I took this all while battlefield 4 was paused and running in the background. Thanks for all your help!!

Update: I measured my fps with fraps and I was getting around 110 on 1920x1080p

Everything you said seems perfectly normal. The GTX 780 was designed to get as close to 80C under load as possible. You are perfectly fine at that temperature; as long as you don't go over there shouldn't be any problems.

The one thing that seems odd is that the fan speed is at 50% at 80C. The fan curve on the reference 780 is conservative, but I'm pretty sure it ramps up to at least 75-80% at 80C. If you are bothered by the temperature, you can adjust the fan curve (easy way to do it is via something like nvidia inspector/evga precision X/msi afterburner). I run two reference 780s in SLI and the cooler card peaks at around 75C under full load in BF4 (overclocked to 1123 MHz) when I have the fan curve set to hit 100% at 75C.

is it bad that the fan speed is at 50% and the temps are 80c?

It may be undesirable if, due to the low fan speed, your GPU is throttling back its clock to keep temperatures at or below 80C. In this case you would not be getting the full performance potential of the GPU.

At idle my temps are 36c and fan speed is 26%

Alright thanks a bunch!!
