    i usually play league of legends
    and it seems like 6770m can handle it pretty well even for long hours.

    but i recently found this free called game "blacklight retribution"
    (if you are a FPS gamer check it out great game)
    and my 6770m gets pretty hot quick.

    seems like the max temperature i get is 80C.
    it doenst go over 80C but it pretty much stays at 78~80C range.
    is that bad for GPU? can it shorten the lifespan?

    i know this is asked too much time
    but i really couldnt find definite asnwer..

    is 80C for laptop gpu bad? okay?

    That is perfectly normal. I start getting worried in the 90+ range.

    80 C is very good for a max temp. During the summer here it's like 39 C outside and my CPU/GPU frequently hits 85 C.

    Yep, just like the two above me responded...you have nothing to worry about at 80C (other than a hot palmrest)

    what about your CPU temp? coz my CPU usually way hotter than my GPU.
