GPU temp at 85 C?

I was playing Crysis for quite a bit yesterday, and my GPU reached a high of 85-90 C. It's a GTX 480, and I know that they are known for getting quite hot, but I wanted to know if the temperatures it is reaching are bad for the system. Also, note that this was after around two hours of playing. Thanks.

well crysis is still a demanding game to this day, and that is a card that runs hot, reached 100c in some testing. My GPU runs in the 80s sometimes, unless I manually tell it to crank the fan speed way up. I wouldn't be too worries about it, just crank up the fan. If it seems a bit loud, a nice set of headphones makes that annoyance go away :)

Hmmm... maybe it's because the program I'm using to check temps (CPUID) is not that accurate. If that is the case, can anyone suggest any other, more reliable ways of checking GPU temps?

And, if it makes any difference, CPUID is telling me that the GPU is running at around 45 C idle.

To be honest, the GTX 480 gets that hot.

If you're concerned about it, try to get some more cooling into your case if at all possible,

No, if it's normal for it to run that hot then I'm not concerned at all. As long as it's not damaging itself or anything else, then I have nothing to complain about.

GTX480s are designed to run at high temperatures. So you have nothing to worry about if its hitting 85c on high load.

It's not going to hurt anything. Throw some eggs on that thing and cook your breakfast while you're gaming! Welcome to the world of Fermi :P

Its known to be able to cook scramble eggs on top of it.
