raise your settings/max out details to max out GPU, might as well enjoy what the 1060 can do, and, slightly lower CPU usage simultaneously...

If 80'c is really the max you see, yes, it is still in the normal zone...not exactly cool but still ok, assuming you are using stock cooler.
I would still try to get better aftermarket cooler to make it cooled down a bit.
