>>"Civ V: all settings on max - 80C"<<<

IMO you shouldn't have to put up with that.
That is CIV V doesn't need or really use that much Graphic card power.
I mean its just a turn based mostly static screen thing.
I can see by comparing CPU with GPU activity that its
not very demanding but inefficient.

Check out the hints re. this & setting 'Fog of War' & 'Tessellation'  Low
A hint to use a Frame Rate Limiter to set FPS to 20 FPS seemed
ridiculous to me .
But it does work ok n smooth given the nature of the game
& brings the GPU Temp. down.
Mostly problems with ATI cards .
Installation of the 'Gods & Generals' extension add-on calms it all down 
quite a lot more.
