i think ur card is ok if u can run these tests without any errors maybe the temp sensors are faulty Contact Sapphire Open a support ticket in their site & ask them first about ur problem i dont think straightway sending ur card for RMA will solve the problem take the advice of the local reseller also if u bought from them

Mithun,
What are the maximum temp when GPU is under 99% load? At normal or zero load, the GPU is always between 45-50 degrees.

Do you still think my card is faulty? How can I measure it? I am not seeing any issues as of now. Will install mafia 2 and check.

Meanwhile, is there any way in furmark or 3D Mark to record the readings? Because Video card stability test ran for 40 min without any crashes. Should I again run furmark for more time? I heard in other post in forum that furmark has killed the cards by giving very high temp...Any ideal home user test suggested?

Max temperature Depends upon many factors i.e ur ambient, fabication of the Gpu,and the cooler used ithink the max for a modern day GPU is 100c i think going up to 75-80 while gaming will be fine if am right also this GPU tends to get very hot have a look at these

If u can run the stability test for 40 mins without any artifacts or crashes then ur GPU is perfectly ok go ahead & play games on it

Also if u hesitate to run furmark u can try Unigine Heaven Benchmarks
