    Heat is the major player in degradation. Not only for GPUS, but all major hardware.

    75-80 is about the highest you want you card to get.

    Cards with better cooling solutions can run somewhat cooler in the mid 60s at full load. Maybe pushing closer to 70C under certain situations.

    None-the-less .. anything over 80C is in the red zone and would certainly warrant a rememdy to cool it down better.

    90C+ Temps is just slowly killing the card.

    My laptop is a Nvdia chip and am disappointed with it's quality. My ati on my other laptop is better. I can't tell how hot the ati gets because there is not a temp sensor that I can see. The fan runs less anyway.

    Where are you getting this reading from?
    The bios will give you a more accurate reading

    I found the temp reading from this software called SIW:
    SIW | System Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala
    It has access to windows information and hardware sensors.

    I don't think my BIOS shows temp. Where would it be located?
