Running your card at 100% isn't bad for it, just as long as temperatures are under control, which they are  :)

 

But you do realise that GPU mining is dead, and will only lose you money at this stage, right? (apart from ziftrcoin)

   Ok, I'm right now mining, with my fan set to 97%.... Is it ok for my graphics card to run at 100% ALOT? 

iT IS running in the mid 60's of celcius like this.. Will my card break? I have 2 fans in the front, 1 included 120mm fan, and a 140mm rosewill fan, at the top of the case, a 120mm cheap masscool fan.. the included rear fan.. In a Corsair Spec-03 case. The graphics card is a XFX R7 265 2gb.. It has a smallish cooler and a single fan. Will my card break? Or does load not matter and its all temperature that matters? 

 

 

         Yes, I'm mining dogecoin.
