Also, OP, having high usage is ideal. Assuming you haven't limited performance via frame limiters or vsync then having as close to 100% usage across all primary components (CPU/GPU etc etc...) means you're running with as small a bottleneck as possible. As long as temps are fine then high usage does not increase failure rate of the CPU or GPU.
But yes, I believe you can set max temp targets using certain overclocking software (the names of the ones with said feature escape me). Where essentially the software will auto underclock your card if it reaches/surpasses a certain temperature. In that way you could control it via the temperature.
Again, 80% load is perfectly fine, especially since you say you have vsync turned on. And as long as the temperature isn't exceeding...say 84 degrees celsius, you could run it constantly at that level for forever basically.
Graphic Cards are made to be used. It's just a big waste of money to run a potent graphic card on small loads.
This is very low temperature for any graphics card. They safely go up to 90C. Start worrying when your GPU is hitting high 90C with fans spinning at 100%.
When you have GPU Load lower then 99% there is some bottleneck. Probably CPU. Or older game that cannot utilize all the power your GPU have.
Another thing: if utilization is only 60% then temperatures will be lower too. But with 99%-100% GPU Util then Temps are approaching tMax which is for newer cars a little lower then 100C. So with full Util, 80C is relatively "low" or normal temp depends on the GPU and how fast fans are spinning.
