Yes, advanced deinterlacing with PureVideo is a relatively heavy task, although the more powerful cards handle it easily. If temperatures get too high, you risk damaging the GPU. You need to make sure that the card is cooled properly and that there is good airflow within the case. Check the GPU temperature while encoding.
