Gpu temp
my gtx 1080ti goes up to 80c in this game.
most other games i get max 70-75c

do you think 80c is safe ?

Nope .. 80c is safe but not good !

what manufactory is the graphics card from ?

set to max 60fps, temp could improve

90C for CPU, gpu can go even hotter. Nvidia will throttle the gpu with each 5 degrees starting at 55c, so it's not good to your performance. You obviously have some issues with in your case airflow.

hmm i just read from a bunch of people that this card can easily go to 85c and its normal.
just weird that games like metro exodus stop at 70-75c but this one makes it so hot

80c is safe and normal for 1-2 fan GPUs, even for ones with 3 fans with certain programs. You could set a more aggressive cooling profile for your GPU using MSI afterburner or similar apps, it's bound to lower your temps by at least 5c.

While 80-85c is safe, it's not good to be reaching those temps for too long since it can and will decrease a GPU's lifespan. Modern GPUs are built to last, they will throttle themselves long before reaching dangerous temps, but user caution is never a bad thing, consider a more aggressive cooling profile for playing GPU intensive games.

just set a more aggressive fan curve then

people here don't seem know what thermal throttle is... -_-

a friend told you this i rekon? Nvidia will NOT throttle the GPU at 55, its brand depended BUT most GPU's are just fine at 80°c i ran my old card at that temp for over 8 years. i upgraded the card but the old one still works just fine. my strix 1080 does not even throttle at 85, its set to throttle at 90...

i'd say 80°c is just fine and don't worrie about it, its good to keep an eye on it but don't sweat. RDR2 is a very demanding game and 80°c is actually nice "i assume you run high settings or even ultra yes?"

GPU's can take alot of beating before they kick the bucket. clean the grill with compressed air-can once and while and your golden. (do this when the pc is off and cooled down btw, the propelant may be flamable)

100% correct. 5700xt's for example can hit 110° before throttling down. Not recommended, but newer gpu's are made to take the heat.
Edit....I hit 75 with junction Temps of 90°

None of my cards hit above 75° degree, many hours of play with ultra setting in 2560 x 1440p i got all my cards even the old ones running at max 65 to 75° .. and thats normal ..

if the card begins to leap above 75 toward 80 degree, then the thermal paste is not apply correct or is getting to old, or the airflow in your system is bad, or there is to much dust inside your machine !
you know you have healthy airflow system and a clean system and healthy paste apply on your videocard, when your idle temps is around 30-40° c and max temps around 65-70° when running games in ultra settings in a closed case !

no that is correct .. max heat performance of a GPU is around 83-85 degree´s then you begin to make dmg to it, if you go above that celcius ! ... and only amateur overclockers is that dumb to press the hardware so much without the right cooling and paste for it :steamfacepalm:

Pro overclockers even use LN2 cooling to keep the heat down, but its a SPORT and not something you do as an amateur, they have a whole team behind them know what their doing, and even thous folks burn pc hardware off sometimes !

see the link again. who says anything about overclocking ???
GTX1080 TI FE(Founders Edition) is a nvidia reference model with no overclocking and the average temp is 84c load according to the expert. when GPU hits max temp(100c) that when it'll throttle(down clock core) to prevent the damage. stable GPU should never throttle.

No, I've build like 7 PCs the past 20 years. Been gaming 32 years now. The GPU will throtle 10-25mhz with each 5c past 55c. Asus strix 1080 did just that when I had it. Now I have 2080ti strix. You didn't know this as a fact? If you set the boost clock to be like 2101mhz which my card did just fine with air cooling, it'll drop the clocks to 2088, 2070, 2060 or 2050 when you hit the 55c mark and with every 5c increments. This has nothing to do with the thermal limit you set for instance in GPU tweak. It's built in to the cards and you can't just bypass it all without some serious modding.

founders edition coolers are pretty trash ...

I would look on the aftermarket for a better cooler for my card if i had a FE model ! .. 3 fan one with speed messurements for better overall control of fan speeds and noise .. and if i have a small cabine i would look for a back out blowing cooling system, so i dont throw to much heat out in the system to the other parts of the pc ..

The issue with most systems today is that people mix water cooling system together with a Air cooled graphics card .. and thats a bad idea in small cases, well unless the case have 4 areas to place fans and coolers, etc: buttom watercoolers top, front, back and side with airflow options .. ..
because the water cooling system alone wont be able to throw the needed airflow into or pull it out the system to cool the graphics card down with unless it runs full speed all the time !

84c is a critical point for a GPU the dmg begins allready at 86-90c and shortens the lifespan of the GPU .. thats why i say that 83c is the maximum you can go if you want to have your GPU alive for more than just a few years .. the higher heat the lower lifespan ..

want better performance ? buy a better card that can pull heavy graphics instead of shorten the lifespan of your old graphics card by overclocking it without the correct cooling ..

i bet that i can get the gtx 1080 ti Fe model down and be stable at around 65-75c while it runs ultra settings in max resolution it can pull with no fps limits .. but it will need another cooler or better paste and a good ventilated cabinet!

CPU: idle temps 23-30°, max temps 50-55° while gaming in ultra settings
GPU: idle temp 28-31°, max temps 60-65° at Ultra settings in 2560 x 1440p
