thats under load for sure , the x800xt cranks up to 71 degs in summer here in queensland, l put crazy 9000 rpm fans on it to keep it at 61 --63, runs with no artifacts at core 533 and mem 555 stock its 500 / 500, so its a touch overclocked, but perfect , its a warm ah heck, but l have 2 pro s and an xt one pro is bios and hard wire modded to an xtpe it runs at 68 deg cant stop it even with monster fans, 60 seems ok if its workin its butt off at that temp, and l cant see any reason why it would get that hot not under load so, usually for a video card to crank up like that its running megga heavy open gl program , or it s running almost any 3d program, then the GPU gets cranked up and....heat , its a cpu at its core and there like little p2 s or p3 s really, on a card ! l wouldnt stress to much if your worried look at your overall tower box air flow and make sure the high pressure area [ fan inlets ] is below the video card, l always try to get air flowing from back of tower to front, l have 9 fans, 5 inlet, 4 outlet, 3 of the inlet fans are below vid card giving it a mass of cool air to suck over video card AND cpu, the air then tends to pass the RAM , bonus, passed the hard disc, and in my case out the front via a hidden vent below cd rom. Lt comes out WARM even now in winter so its displacing alot of heat energy, keeping it all cool is just as important if you run demending 3d games like hl2 or bf2 doom 3 etc etc, keep the RAM cool too.
