Graphics cards get so hot when playing games.

Some games that I play that are quite graphically intense causes my Graphics card to hit 80 degrees Celsius and causes my computer to shutdown and restart. My specs are i7 2600, GTX 560Ti, 16GB ram. I've recently bought 2 fans for my computer one for my CPU and one mounted on the side of my case blowing air into my graphics card. I've bought the fans and I'm not sure how else to cool down my Graphics card. Maybe a new graphics card may help, but I'm not sure if that is the entire problem.

Is your gpu fan set on auto? Download and install MSI Afterburner and set a custom fan profile so that the fan speed ramps up as your temperatures go up.

My card runs at 47C idle. I have done the system specs. And downloading MSI Afterburner at the moment! Thankyou for the replies

What do you mean by restricted air intake? because of the case and the motherboard positioning, the PSU is at the bottom and the fan is facing up, and the graphic cards fan is facing down. So pretty much there facing each other : /

Okay I've installed MSI Afterburner and created a custom file for my graphics cards fan, and the temperature has been reduced by 18C stable at 62C while playing a game. Do i need to run MSI Afterburner everytime I start up my computer or does it do it automatically?

Also I have installed ASUS smart doctor, but it won't work with my graphics card cause its not made by ASUS D:

My son had a problem with his graphics card over heating he sorted the problem by using a cooler.

Any chance you can break it down a little Maxie???

So I was just playing world of warcraft, around 10minutes in without my computer restarting. The screen goes black and then the monitor displays a no signal sign. I've checked all the power cords and connections and nothing seems to wrong.

Zalman do a wide range of coolers.
