video card temperature question.

[Dakotakid44]

I was just wondering what a good idle temperature would be for a video card. I have a 6800 EVGA and the core temperature is 57°C and the ambient temperature is 38°C. I have everything stock and not overclocked is this a good temperature or not? I would appreciate some feedback.

Video cards can handle more heat that cpus. Im guessing under 70C load should be ok for you. My max for my x850xt is 100C according to ATI.

My 6800gs agp idles around the same and maxes out at about 70-75C. Haven't had any problems so far.
