GPU at 70 C temp while playing a game

Hello. Is it normal for the temperature to be at 70 C while playing a game? And the GPU core at 100% workload ? I was playing the Witcher game, which requires 8 ram. So does the ram have anything to do with the GPU temps and workload, or this is normal while running a game.. ?


GPU : Nvidia GeForce GTX 980
RAM : 6 gb
CPU : Intel Core i7 950

Here is an image.

BTW i took this image after i closed the game thus the 0% video engine...

I'm not sure if i should adjust the fans on my own ... don't want to screw something up. I would like to provide more information on this if it's needed though , just give me some suggestions ... and ty for replying :)

I don't know how demanding the witcher game is . I play Crysis in the summer and temps stay below 60C. Don't depend on the Nvidia driver to regulate proper fan speed. I also use afterburner as thrash suggested to OC gpu's and set fan speed. Don't worry you will hear the Vid cards fans when set to 100% and you won't screw them up. heres the MSI link with features/tutorials & downloads v4.2.0 . https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner

Hi,
Just install afterburner and see what it shows,
Here's mine
All that is left is to save that profile,

Here it is. I took this image while the game was not running.

Now just turn off Auto by clicking on it, then drag the fan speed bar to the right and set it where you want it.

When you`re done gaming, just click Auto again.

To answer your question, it is perfectly normal for a graphics card to reach 70 degrees while gaming.

This is after i played the game for about 15 minutes.
So before i start playing the game i should set the fan speed ? What number do you suggest ? 70-80 % fan speed ? Ty for replying ,appreciate it.
