Max temp of the 2900gt

Hello, i got this old Radeon 2900gt and i was wondering, what is the max temperature it can reach?

Are you using it as a space heater or something? It is a general rule that gpu's should not exceed 80 degrees celsius, but they will work at higher temps (not advised).

I don't recall that rule, where is that written in stone?

@OP, check the manufactures site for the operating temp of your card, IIRC the 2900GT was a hot running card in its day.

Just something I go by, but I like to keep things on the safe side.

If it's just something that you go by then it's hardly a "general rule" is it?

I suppose not. I am defeated.
