    Um, it really depends on the GPU to tell the truth.

    Pre 600-700 series 84C on a GPU was in the "danger zone" with an emergency shutoff at 110C. If you have a 600 or 700 series card now, 84C is EXTREMELY bad, as the card will begin throttling it's speed down at 70.1C for a 600 series card, and 80.1C for a 700 series card. If the temperature remains above 70C or 80C for long enough, the card will continue to drop it's speed until it reaches a set level (I believe at a certain point you will get speeds low enough that it doesn't feel like you spent $400 on a new GPU...).

    As far as AMD/ATI cards go, I don't know if they have a feature similar to this or not, but I do know that 84C is not a recommended temperature.

    Optimal temperatures for any GPU as listed by the manufacturer range between 50-60C. Anything higher is considered by the manufacturer to be beyond optimal operating conditions.
    You can still do it, but with newer Nvidia cards you can expect to be penalized for it.
