    Yes, 80s is safe.

    From what I'm reading around, 105C is the max. Keeping the card under 90C is probably the best to get the longest life from the card, from what others say. I'm not sure what laptop you have but I know most of the asus laptops that have been swapped to the 260 get temps of 85C-95C.

    Mine maxes out at about 85-87° C and while testing with Furmark it stops heating @101°C. It usually idles @ 55°C.

    Asus G72GX.

    Mine idles in the mid forties and maxes out in any game at 86C, with 580/1450/850.

    Furmark might max at mid nineties. OCCT PSU test will... well, I abort after I hit 98C.

    Temperatures in the low 90°C area are just fine.
