A quick question is 81 degrees Celsius normal for a ti during gaming as the top is getting 81 the lower is 70 cheers peeps
980ti heat question

Yeah the 10 difference sounded normal but 80 just sounded a bit high I though around 70 was the norm but not sure

From what I'm seeing from Googling 83 seem the norm and my room temp is 26 with 53 percent humidity ATM so I guess everything is normal

What temperature does the 980 run out ???

The 980 Ti still runs GPU Boost 2.0 which allows the GPU to hit a thermal limit of 80 C while overclocking it to the maximum that it will do within that temperature limit while under load.
My 760 has it too. Example: The clockspeed on my card is 1072 MHz, the boost clock is 1137 MHz. But with GPU Boost, it still overclocks itself to 1202MHz while staying within the 80 C (with margin of error, it sometimes climbs up to 82 maximum) limit at around 60% fanspeed.
Of course, with two of them in SLI the top card is always going to run warmer cause it draws in the used warm air from the bottom card (as hot air rises), especially when you have non reference models like yours.
Don't worry though, the maximum safe GPU temperature according to the Nvidia website is 92 C, so you still have a 12% buffer, which you'll probably never use cause as soon as it starts getting hotter than ~80 C, GPU Boost will reduce the overclock so that the card can cool down a bit again and stay under, or at that 80C mark.

Well interesting enough what you say makes sense Feronix as when i ran Valley the clocks for both cards stayed the same and never changed and the top card never went above 83 deg C
