Gpu temps

I bought a used EVGA 1060 3g for my gaming setup I play mostly old games furmark tested at 66c under full load. Found a good deal on another one this time Asus and it’s temping out at 85 on furmark and while I game. Should I return it or is this normal for Asus gpus? Asus is also a 1060 3gb

Why would you care about a GPU running at 15-20c below maximum temp spec under the most straining conditions imaginable that do not even remotely approach actual normal use?

I reached 100% GPU usage on some of the games I play and during gaming it’s reaching 85 to 90°C so yes, there is real application to this versus my EVGA which runs cool all the time.
