Is this a safe GPU temperature to play at, or should I be concerned?

I recently purchased a NVIDIA GTX 1070Ti. Whenever I play demanding games, such as PUBG or Battlefield, the temps of my GPU after a few hours tend to climb to slightly above 80° Celsius. Is this normal or should I be concerned? My idling temps tend to stay <50°C.

Also, I wanted to ask another question. Its currently summer and where I live it gets above 100°F and my house has no air-conditioning whatsoever. Due to this, my room often feels like the inside of an oven during the afternoon. Do ambient temperatures affect GPU temps at all?

Thank you, and I hope to see some answers!

Well is it a reference cooler or 3rd party? 80c is warm but still fine. Ambient temperatures can have a massive impact on temps along with the actual airflow of your case.

When you say reference cooler or 3rd party, is that who made the card? Or like, the brand? If so, it is an MSI card.

By reference design I mean is it a blower style card (single fan that takes air and blows it out the back) or 3rd party (being an msi it would probably have 2 fans). But yeh either way 80c is warm but more than fine especially with the ambient temps you're describing. (100f is around ~35c or so?)
If you're really concerned try improving the airflow in your case a tad.

Thank you so much for your input. On the top of my case, there is room for two fans. I think I might fill that space. Thanks again!
