Just installed my 6970 and after an hour or so of playing BF:BC 2 my GPU temp was at 89C. I have not overclocked the card at all except to move up the power control slider to +10%, limiting or eliminating the card throttling itself for TDP reasons. My old 4870 512 would get above 90c when playing but for some reason I figured this card would be lower than that by a fair bit. Should I be worried?
At the very least it idles in the low 60's (Which also seems warm compared to the reviews) though this is WAAAAAY cooler than my 4870 ever did...
