I agree with Duke normally a GPU can go up to 140C then it'll start acting funny and chances are it'll burn up. But yerr i wouldn't allow my GPU anywhere near 60-70 nevermind 100C.
If you nosey on the manufacturers website chances are it'll tell you what temp it'll burn up on. But from my experience you still have some head room.

My 8800GTS freezes the PC when it reaches 90ºC...

it might be freezing but it aint damaging your pc, it's just being dodgey. GPU temps can exceed CPU temps by at least 40-60C and then they'll burn out

Hmm... under full loads the temp for gpu stays below 80c easy on crysis etc 99% gpu load

but the memio and shadercore still rises to 100-110c

is this safe even though gpu is below 80?
