I have a MSI 7970 Be edition which is overclocked from the get go, core clock 1050 memory clock 1375. I have a fan curve set up in MSI afterburner 1c=1% and while gaming, in this case Hitman Absolution fan and temperature were constantly around 80 degrees Celsius. 79-81.
Is this too high or still considered normal? It really seems strange to me to be that high at 80% fan for a month old card, even my old 4870x2 which was hot on default ran cooler with fan turned up like that...
I also have a flicker problem for which I'm considering RMAing the card so if this is too hot it just might be the push I need to send it back.
