The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founder's Edition Review: Bigger Pascal for Better Performance

Still one of our most punishing benchmarks 3 years later, Crysis 3 needs no introduction. Crytek’s DX11 masterpiece, Crysis 3’s Very High settings still punish even the best of video cards, never mind the rest. Along with its high performance requirements, Crysis 3 is a rather balanced game in terms of power consumption and vendor optimizations. As a result it can give us a good look at how our video cards stack up on average, and later on in this article how power consumption plays out.
Crysis 3 will vex cards at 4K for at least one more generation. At 48.9fps, the GTX 1080 Ti is the fastest of the bunch, and is starting to approach the 60fps mark. Still, even with a 36% performance lead over the GTX 1080 and a 77% performance lead over the GTX 980 Ti, 60fps is a bit more than any one card can handle.

I have a GTX 1080Ti and to date, I've been using FSX which apparently devotes more use to the CPU than the GPU. I've just loaded P3D - and it really does look super smooth. The temp maxed out around 85 degs - and my monitoring software was having kittens showing me temps in the RED zone.Can thus GPU continue to run at this temp indefinitely? For unlimited hours?
Is it going to damage the card in the long run?
I'd appreciate your kind advice.
